Raw macadamia nuts are a true nut lover’s delight! The uniquely flavorful and creamy taste of a raw macadamia nut is incomparable. These crunchy little guys are perfect for snacking, baking or adding to savory dishes like grilled mahi mahi. Macadamia nuts are also loaded with fiber and heart-healthy monounsaturated fats.
Health Benefits of Raw Macadamia Nuts
1) Heart-Healthy Fats: Nearly eighty percent of the fat found in macadamia nuts is monounsaturated, which can help lower LDL cholesterol levels and protect against heart disease. The macadamia nut is one of the few foods that contain palmitoleic acid, a monounsaturated fatty acid that may improve fat metabolism and reduce stored body fat.
2) Antioxidant Powerhouse: Just like other nuts and seeds, macadamia nuts are an excellent source of flavonoids (a phytochemical) and tocopherols (vitamin E). These protective antioxidant compounds can reduce the risk for heart disease and other conditions linked to premature aging.
3) Rich in Fiber: A single 1.1 ounce serving of raw macadamia nuts provides three grams of dietary fiber, which is about 11% of the recommended daily value for fiber. The fiber found in macadamia nuts supports a healthy digestive system.
