Macadamia nuts are high in monounsaturated fatty acid (“good” fat), which can help reduce overall cholesterol levels. Eighty percent of fat in macadamia oil is monounsaturated – six percentage points higher than olive oil, which checks in at 78 percent.
Macadamia Nuts
Macadamias contain flavenoids (a phytochemical) and tocopherols (vitamin E), which are potent antioxidants and can help protect against cancer and heart disease.
Unsalted macadamia nuts contain no cholesterol and are low in sodium and saturated fats.
One ounce, or 11 nuts, has two grams of protein.
Macadamias contain vitamin A, thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, and iron.
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.
Macadamia nut contains Omega 3, known to reduce the risk of heart disease and high blood pressure.
