Why the macadamia nut is number 1

When we crown the "queen of nuts," we do so not because of its price, but because of its unique physiological benefits. In these respects, the macadamia nut is the best choice:

• Highest proportion of monounsaturated fatty acids: Similar to high-quality olive oil, it protects the heart and optimizes cholesterol levels.

• Lowest level of antinutrients: It is extremely easy to digest and hardly irritates the intestines.

• Rare Omega-7 fatty acids: Contains palmitoleic acid, which boosts fat metabolism and improves insulin sensitivity.

• Stability: Due to its low content of polyunsaturated fats, it is less susceptible to oxidation (rancidity) during storage or processing.

• Prevent inflammation: Due to having the lowest omega-6 content of all common nuts, it does not burden the fatty acid balance.
