Macadamia
The queen of nuts.
Information
Macadamia trees grow best in subtropical climates and rich, well-drained soils. In the 1960s, Australians and South Africans recognized the potential of macadamias and began growing them locally. Approximately 50 % of the world's macadamia production is now grown in Australia and South Africa.
The macadamia is the queen of nuts. Its creamy, buttery and smooth texture and delicious taste make it a true natural. It is often eaten on its own as a snack, enriches salads or other dishes and also adds a touch of luxury to chocolate, pralines, bread and baked goods.
Macadamias are a superfood with impressive heart health benefits and many healthy components, including antioxidants and healthy fats.
Macadamias are one of the healthiest nuts. With the highest proportion of monounsaturated fats of all nuts, a low proportion of saturated fats and no trans fats at all, they contribute to a healthy lifestyle and help reduce the risk of heart disease.
With one of the highest levels of antioxidants in nuts, macadamias help protect the body from cell damage, disease and cognitive decline. Macadamias are packed with phytochemicals that have an impressive anti-inflammatory effect.
