Looking to buy Macadamia Nuts online?

Macadamia nuts are a famous native Australian nut and are very unique among the nut family. Many people only buy macadamia nuts as a special celebration or at Christmas time. What they are missing is that these nuts are not only delicious... They are absolute nutrient powerhouses as well! Like all nuts, macadamia nuts contain a wide range of nutrients. Some of these are actually quite difficult to get from other sources. This makes macadamia nuts a secret weapon to keep on hand or in your pantry.

Our Macadamia Nuts have a very distinct flavour. They are buttery, fluffy and creamy. They taste very pure and are often bought as a high-end dessert nut. We stock a range of macadamias, including raw macadamias, roasted, chocolate-coated and more! If you want the ultimate snack for home, check out our macadamia butter! It's made in-store from 100% Australian Macadamias, with no additives. 

Ok, buckle up. Don't buy Macadamia Nuts just for their flavour! They are chock full of goodness and one of the ultimate snacks to keep on hand. 

Heart Health

Like all nuts, Macadamias contain a large amount of monounsaturated fat (that's the good one!). In fact, the fat to carbohydrate ratio in Macadamias in some of the highest of all nuts. Monounsaturated fat has been demonstrated to have real heart benefits. In particular, they have been shown to have positive effects in people with high cholesterol. As part of a heart-healthy diet, Maccas have been found to decrease LDL cholesterol levels (the bad cholesterol). 

Metabolic Improvement

There is a rare fatty acid called palmitoleic acid which has been shown to improve the body's ability to metabolise fat. While it is often hard to get in your diet, Macadamia Nuts are one of the few food sources that contain it. 

High in Omega-3

Omega-3 is an essential fatty acid that is usually very low in modern diets. It is commonly supplemented with high-quality fish oil however, Macadamia Nuts are also very high in Omega-3. Including them regularly in your diet can help your body to fight the effects of inflammation.

While macadamias are natively Aussie, they were first commercially-produced at scale in Hawaii. They go by several other names. These include: Bush Nuts, Queensland nuts, Bauple nuts, and Hawaii nuts. They are known for their hard shell which is almost impossible to break without a nut cracker.

Yep, it's true that macadamia nuts are on the more expensive end of the nut range. While several factors play a role, the main reason is that Macadamia trees have a low yield. A low yield means that a small number of nuts can be harvested for the same amount of investment as other nuts. In turn, this means that it is costly to farm and harvest Macadamia nuts.

A few factors contribute to the low yield of macadamia nut harvesting. The trees need to reach maturity before they start producing nuts. That means a wait time of up to 10 years before harvesting! Then, they only produce nuts 5 or 6 times a year. Finally, they are typically harvested by hand. Due to their very hard shell, it is difficult to know which nuts are ripe. This leads to a lot of manual labour and increases the cost.
