Macadamia nuts 500g - VIVIO

Macadamia nuts are the fruit of the evergreen tree of the silverfish family that grows naturally in Australia. Appreciated by Aborigines for its high content of valuable fatty acids. They were discovered by Scottish botanist Walter Hill in the 1950s. The nuts are circular. The color of the shell is reminiscent of hazelnuts. Inside is a tender, creamy pulp. How do they taste? They can be compared to cashew nuts in terms of taste, but have a rather sweet and salty aftertaste. Their flavor can be enhanced by roasting. A macadamia nut weighs about 3 grams. A handful of this delicacy is about 40 grams and up to 300 calories! The oil obtained from it has a pleasant smell and valuable ingredients for the skin, which is why it is often used in the cosmetics industry. Macadamia nut butter has softening, moisturizing and smoothing properties. It is especially recommended for sensitive skin.
The macadamia tree can grow up to 5 meters high. However, it bears fruit very late, only after 5 years. It grows wild in Australia, Indonesia and New Caledonia. The largest cultivation of macadamia nuts is currently in Hawaii and South Africa. Cultivation in Poland on an industrial scale is not possible. Macadamia trees thrive best in subtropical climates, they don't like shade and frost but need plenty of moisture. However, a macadamia tree as an ornament can be planted in a pot at home. Split nuts are used for this purpose, not cuttings. However, the plant is very demanding in cultivation.
Are Macadamia Nuts Healthy? They contain valuable micronutrients (calcium, phosphorus, iron, magnesium, zinc, potassium) and vitamins (A, E and B vitamins). As a result, they can help maintain a healthy condition of the skin, hair and nails. They are characterized by a high content of protein, fiber and carbohydrates. Up to 70% of all nutrients are fats. These are mainly monounsaturated fats (so-called good fats): oleic acid, palmitoleic acid and icozoic acid, which help maintain proper cholesterol levels. Because of their presence, macadamia nuts should be present in our diet. According to the recommendations of the World Health Organization, the energy we get from food should come from the so-called good fats. It is important that macadamia nuts are used sparingly as a substitute for other products.
