Variety

As macadamias are a natural product their composition may vary due to the growing district, variety, cultural procedures and growing season. Macadamia nuts offer a range of health benefits that make them a nutritious addition to your diet. These creamy, buttery nuts are rich in heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, which can help lower bad cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. They are also a good source of antioxidants, such as vitamin E, which can protect your cells from oxidative damage and support overall health. Additionally, macadamia nuts provide essential minerals like magnesium and potassium, which contribute to proper muscle and nerve function. Furthermore, they contain fiber, promoting digestive health, and their low carbohydrate content makes them a suitable snack option for those watching their blood sugar levels. Incorporating macadamia nuts into your diet can be a delicious way to reap these health benefits.

"Kindal Kindal

It is believed that long before Australia was mapped by European explorers, Aboriginal people would congregate on the eastern slopes of Australia’s Great Dividing Range to feed on the seed of two evergreen trees, one of which they called ‘Kindal Kindal’.

 In the 1850’s these trees were noticed by a British botanist Ferdinand Von Meuller and Walter Hill, the Director of the Botanical Gardens of Brisbane, Australia. The two men were struck with the majestic beauty of the specimens found growing in the rain forests of Queensland. A distinction was made between Macadamia integrifolia (smooth shelled) and Macadamia tetraphylla (rough shelled) which also produces a nut that is edible, although not as good for roasting as Macadamia integrifolia. The genus Macadamia was named after a prominent scientist of that time, Dr John McAdam.
