I support small, local farmers in every agricultural region, including Hawaii. Supporting small mac nut farmers in Hawaii is important to us all because it helps keep a steady flow of nutritious foods coming our way while allowing the small farmers living on Hawaii to make an honest living. (And for those NewsTarget readers living in Australia, I strongly support your own local farmers, too. If you live in Australia, support your local farmer. | | South Kona Macs has over 350 macadamia nut trees, and they harvest and process them in a unique way using their own special nut cracking and drying technology. It's the lowest temperature drying technology on the island, and the dried mac nuts come out as close to raw as you can possibly get in a dried mac nut. The only thing better is a nut right off the tree. | | My research for writing this article, by the way, comes from talking directly to macadamia nut farmers. I conducted in-depth interviews with three mac nut farmers, and spoke casually to another five. One mac nut farmer I interviewed finally gave up in disgust, sold his farm and left the Big Island altogether. | | Perhaps in as few as two years, you may witness a devastation of the macadamia nut industry, to be replaced by factory farms, massive use of chemical pesticides, labor violations for the workers, and everything else that goes with corporate control of the food supply.
So if you wish to support this industry, I encourage you to buy directly from these farmers. I've already recommended South Kona Macs (www.SouthKonaMacs.com), and I give their operation five stars for honesty, ethics and outstanding mac nuts. | | Another operation worth supporting is Purdy's macadamia Nut Farm, located on the small island of Molokai. I flew to Molokai and interviewed Purdy himself, who gives daily tours of his mac nut farm to visitors. You'll find his site at http://molokai-aloha.com/macnuts/
Neither one of these sites has any sort of sophisticated e-commerce system. You have to order the nuts by phone or mail. It's cumbersome, but it's worth it. Order several pounds at a time to make it worth your while. (My last order from South Kona Macs was for 35 pounds of mac nuts. I give some away to friends and family. |

See book keywords and concepts |  While olive oil and canola oil are by far the most popular monounsaturated fats in use, macadamia nut oil is superior to cook with because of lower levels of polyunsaturated oil (3 percent for macadamia nut oil versus 8 percent for olive and 23 percent for canola). As a result, while olive oil and canola oil can form lipid peroxides (rancid byproducts created through oxidation) at relatively low cooking temperatures, macadamia nut oil is stable at much higher temperatures (over twice that of olive oil and four times more stable than canola). |

See article keywords and concepts | | Hawaii House Bill 1628, sponsored by Rep. Bob Herkes, D-Puna-N. Kona, would require that mac nut packaging clearly state the percentage of nuts grown in Hawaii. That would be a first for the industry which, so far, has openly allowed mac nut processors to deceive consumers by labeling imported nuts as "Hawaiian."
Hawaii is a pristine environment in which to grow nuts, coffee, kava kava or practically anything. It's free of the typical shoreline pollution that you might find in other agricultural regions. |

Description An evergreen tree that grows up to 15 m tall. It has distinctive, toothed, leathery leaves that occur in threes or fours at each node. The small, tubular, cream-coloured flowers are borne in large numbers on slender, pendulous clusters. Up to 10 or more round, shortly stalked fruits are formed on each branch. When mature, the outer, fleshy green peel splits open to reveal a pale brown, thick-shelled nut. The bony shell is smooth in M. | | A, E, K, Bl, B2, B6, Bio, C, Fol, Nic, Pan

Now I wouldn't go so far as to say that macadamia nuts are "the" perfect food, but they sure are a good one. The oil in macadamia nuts is more than 80 percent monounsaturated, higher than any other nut (olive oil is about 75 percent monounsaturated). Monounsaturated fat is the main fat in the
Mediterranean diet, which has been shown in virtually every research study to be associated with lower levels of heart disease and cancer, not to mention longer life spans. |

These nuts contain calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium (for strong bones and teeth), heart-healthy potassium, plus a couple of grams of fiber per ounce. macadamia nuts also contain a small amount of selenium, a trace mineral with significant anticancer properties. And they contain phytosterols, including beta-sitosterol, which has been shown to help lower cholesterol and to promote prostate health, possibly by its anti-inflammatory activity. |

See book keywords and concepts | | Macadamia oil, like olive oil, is also very high in natural antioxidants. In fact, it contains more than 4.5 times the amount of vitamin E as olive oil.
HOW TO SELECT AND STORE
Macadamia nuts are most often available in packages or cans after they have been shelled and dried, or in candies. Vacuum-packed nuts are the best choice for the freshest product. Shelled macadamia nuts have a very high fat content and must be stored carefully to avoid rancidity. The nuts should be light in color; they will darken with age as the inherent oil turns rancid. |

If, at this point, you still choose to have a dessert food, pick a small, polite portion and eat it only after consuming healthy foods such as those listed above. And remember to drink plenty of water to flush out toxins, carry nutrients to your body's cells, metabolize fat, and perform other vital functions. (Most experts suggest consuming half your body weight in ounces. | | Consume modest amounts of healthy fats such as flaxseed oil, olive oil, macadamia nut oil, avocado, and raw nuts.
¦ Stay away completely from all refined carbs. That includes cookies, most crackers, and candies (even low-calorie ones); breads and pasta; and alcohol and fruit juices. It's vital, we believe, to quit your quickie-carb habit so you can kick-start your weight loss and break the cravings cycle.
« For the first three weeks, avoid high-glycemic fruits or veggies like corn, potatoes, beets, dates, raisins, bananas, grapes, watermelon, and dried mango. | | This beneficial fat is found in such sources as salmon, lake trout, herring, and sardines, as well as olive oil, avocados, walnuts, macadamia nuts, and flaxseed.)
In fact, a four-month pilot study at Baylor College of Medicine and Harvard's Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston found that depressed patients who took omega-3 fatty acid supplements in addition to antidepressants were four times less likely to suffer recurrent mood symptoms than those who took the medication alone.
"Omega-3 fatty acids play an important role in enhancing mood and easing depression," asserts Andrew Stoll, M.D. |

See book keywords and concepts |  For cooking oils, stick with olive oil and macadamia nut oil. Because omega-6 fats are essential, you can obtain what you need by eating raw nuts and seeds, such as almonds and sunflower seeds.
Helpful Supplements
Dietary fatty acids. Many different essential dietary fats have a profound effect on impulsive, distractible, and aggressive behavior. These fats include the omega-3 fish oils, specifically eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), as well as the omega-6 plant oil gamma linolenic acid (GLA). |
