The world’s finest examples of macadamias grow in Australia. Well worth the trip, we maintain, to source the larger grades before oven baking and sprinkling with salt to produce the perfect crunch.
Macadamia nuts are high in monounsaturated fatty acid, “good fat", helps reduce overall cholesterol levels. Eighty percent of fat in macadamia oil is monounsaturated – six percentage points higher than olive oil, which checks in at 74 percent. Macadamias contain flavenoids (a phytochemical) and tocopherols (vitamin E), potent antioxidants and can help protect against cancer and heart disease. The macadamia nut is one of the few foods that contain palmitoleic acid, a monounsaturated fatty acid. In a recent study, indicators suggest the palmitoleic acid may actually aid in fat metabolism, possibly reducing stored body fat.
