Description
Macadamia nuts are the healthiest nut species in the world, because they have the highest content of beneficial monounsaturated fats. In addition, they contain approximately 22% omega-7 palmitoleic acid. Also, the consumption of macadamia nuts provides an important source of protein, calcium, potassium, phosphorus, selenium, iron, vitamin B and fiber. They have no cholesterol and the sodium content is low. Originally from Australia, Macadamia trees were first planted for commercial purposes in Hawaii. Other important exporters of Macadamia nuts in the world are South Africa, Central America and Australia. The high price of Macadamia nuts, but also of the oil extracted from these woody fruits, can be explained by the fact that a tree of this kind bears fruit only five years after it is planted. Then, only after ten years pass, an optimal production can be obtained. Another reason why Macadamia nuts are so expensive is that they can only be shelled with the help of automated devices. This is caused by the fact that Macadamia nuts have a particularly hard shell that cannot be broken otherwise. In the past, the aborigines used very large stones to crush the hard shell of macadamia nuts. After analysis, it was discovered that 100 grams of Macadamia nuts contain 7.9 grams of carbohydrates, 74 grams of fat (of which 10 grams are saturated, 60 grams are monosaturated and 4 grams are polyunsaturated), 9.2 grams of protein, 4 milligrams of vitamin E, 64 milligrams of calcium, 2 milligrams of iron and 241 mg of phosphorus. Following these studies, US researchers say that taking a handful of Macadamia nuts every day delays or even eliminates the onset of heart disease, while also reducing the risk of thickening of the arteries.
