Health Benefits

Australian Macadamias aren’t just a delicious treat – they should be included in your healthy, balanced diet.

The fat in macadamias is largely monounsaturated1 – the “good fat”. Macadamias contain higher levels of monounsaturated fat than any other food available2. Monounsaturated fats are necessary for health and wellbeing3.

Plant sterols are known to lower cholesterol absorption from the gut4 so it’s also beneficial that macadamias contain natural plant sterols5.

Macadamias provide a wide range of vitamins and minerals, such as B group vitamins, iron, copper, magnesium and manganese and are low in sodium6. New Australian research indicates that macadamias also contain antioxidants such as polyphenols4. Antioxidants play a significant role in protecting the body from damage, clogged arteries and inflammation.

So the good fats, plant sterols and antioxidants all work together to ensure your ticker stays in top shape.

What’s more, macadamias also contain protein and fibre1 – important nutrients for helping you feel fuller for longer6. Snack on a small handful of macadamias mid afternoon and stay satisfied till dinner. Sounds too good to be true?
