This episode is also brought to you by Maui Nui Venison. I’ve been eating ?Maui Nui Venison? for more than five years, and I eat it practically every week. It’s the cleanest and most nutrient-dense red meat you can buy.
Maui Nui has just released its most important innovation to date: the ?Ohana Reserve Aged Cuts. It is the only wild-harvested Axis deer that’s been naturally aged for 14 days to enhance tenderness, consistency, and depth of flavor. The result is a delicious, nutrient-dense protein that’s easy to cook and rivals the choicest cuts of meat I’ve ever had. ? Reserve Aged Cuts are only available by subscription through the ‘Ohana Reserve Box. And for a limited time, Maui Nui is giving my readers a free Stick Starter Pack—two of their most popular venison sticks—when you subscribe and spend $79 or more. If you’ve been curious about trying truly wild, aged, red meat, this is the best way in. Click here to subscribe and claim your complimentary Starter Pack.
