What it is

Macadamia nuts are the seeds of the macadamia tree, native to Australia. They are typically harvested, shelled, and then sold raw or roasted. The nuts have a rich, buttery flavor and a creamy texture.

Why it's used

Health notes

Macadamia nuts are considered a whole food and are recognized as Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) by the FDA. They are a source of healthy monounsaturated fats, fiber, and various vitamins and minerals. Regulatory bodies like EFSA have evaluated nuts and seeds, recognizing their nutritional value. While generally healthy, they are calorie-dense, so moderation is advised as part of a balanced diet.
