Macadamia is a dry fruit originating in Australia but in our country is mainly imported from South Africa.
They are considered a "special" dry fruit because of their creamy and delicate flavor, but they are very nutritious.
Although fat-rich, healthy monounsaturated fats have reduced the risk of heart disease because they boost good cholesterol.
They are also a good source of protein and amino acids that contribute significantly to muscle growth, while the carbohydrates they contain provide the body with the energy they need. Importantly, antioxidants are also included, such as vitamin E and selenium.
They are eaten plain, while they are also used in confectionery, but not in very large quantities. You can find them in raw form or baked without salt or salted.
This dry nut owing to its fatt, as noted above, needs special processing treatment, it is produced in salted and unsalted form and is usually found in two sizes, No 0 and No 1
