Here's what he said about them: "I've always looked for a food that could serve as a meal in itself—nutritionally complete and safe as a snack. All you need to do is keep a jar of macadamia nuts handy. I snack on them whenever a meal is late ... I simply will not board an airplane without them."
—Dr. Robert Atkins, Health Revelations, November 1996
Now I wouldn't go so far as to say that macadamia nuts are "the" perfect food, but they sure are a good one. | | Macadamia Nuts Can Help Lower Cholesterol and Promote Prostate Health
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. |

Lara: You know, I don't use macadamia nuts, and certainly, we're open to using different types of nuts. So as we look at new flavors for instance, we look at different combinations and things like that. So we certainly aren't going to limit it just to you know, almonds, walnuts, and cashews.
Mike: Well, let me put in my vote for the Tropical bar, the Tropical Larabar.
Lara: Thank you for the recommendation!
Mike: Just macadamia nuts and bananas and unfortunately that's going to be an expensive nut. |

See article keywords and concepts |  In my opinion, Hawaiian macadamia nuts are tastier, more nutritious, and higher quality than the mass-produced nuts imported from Australia (perhaps Australian mac nuts are great in Australia because they keep the good ones for themselves!).
There's (finally!) an effort underway to end the macadamia nut false labeling that's going on today. 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 includes not only macadamia nuts, but superfoods like spirulina (which is grown by the Cyanotech corporation, also located on the Big Island).
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. | | They grow macadamia nuts on the big island near a town called Captain Cook. Although the nuts are not certified organic, the owners of the farm informed me they don't use any chemical herbicides or pesticides, and they keep the mac nut farm is a very natural state (I've visited the farm twice and saw it myself).
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. |

See article keywords and concepts | | Recently, the big food companies were only paying about 70 cents a pound to the Hawaiian farmers for their raw, unshelled macadamia nuts. That's 70 cents a pound for a nut that you might pay $15.00 a pound for at the grocery store (after it's shelled, of course). The farmer can't even make ends meet at that price, and in some years, that price plummets to 30 cents a pound, or even less than 10 cents a pound.
There is a great disparity between the prices that the farmers are paid for the nuts versus what consumers are paying for them. |

See article keywords and concepts |  Of course, you can also get macadamia nut oil into your body by eating macadamia nuts. You're also getting some fiber, protein and carbohydrates at the same time. People tend to make a big mistake when they consume macadamia nuts, though, because they buy roasted nuts, salted nuts or sweetened nuts. A lot of nut mixes are actually made with monosodium glutamate, a chemical taste enhancer that causes damage to the nervous system. So it's easy to go wrong when buying and consuming nuts. If you're going to eat nuts, eat them raw with no salt, no sugar, and no additives. |

See article keywords and concepts | | Even if you don't especially like macadamia nuts, you may want to try these nuts anyway: they're in a different quality class than typical mac nuts.
South Kona Macs also offers macadamia nut oil and macadamia nut butter, both of which are quite delicious. You'll even find tamari flavored mac nuts in their online store (I didn't particularly like the tamari flavor, however. I think mac nuts taste just right the way nature delivers them). |

MacNut Oil, made from Australian macadamia nuts, is rich in oleic acid, the same type of fat that makes olive oil so healthful. MacNut Oil has a slight nutty flavor and a higher smoke point than olive oil. For information, call (866) 462-2688 or go to www.macnutoil.com.

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. |
Bottom Line Health
See book keywords and concepts | | Previously, it was believed that allergies to tree nuts—which include cashews, almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts, macadamia nuts, pecans, pistachios and pine nuts—lasted a lifetime. In their study of 278 people ranging from three to 21 years of age, researchers at Johns Hopkins
University School of Medicine in Baltimore also found that even some children who have had a previous, especially severe allergic reaction to tree nuts can outgrow their allergy. However, children who are allergic to multiple types of tree nuts are unlikely to outgrow their allergy, the research team says. |
Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S.
See book keywords and concepts | | 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. | | Almonds, hazelnuts, pecans, walnuts, macadamia nuts, and pistachio nuts all alter the composition of the blood in ways that would be expected to reduce the risk of coronary disease. And it doesn't take a ton of them to give you the health benefits found in the research. One 1-ounce serving a day—or 5 ounces a week from a variety of nuts—ought to do it. It's possible you'd get benefits with even less.

You can change the types of nuts and raisins to suit your personal tastes. We recommend that no more than one of the nut varieties be salted; the salt will transfer to the other ingredients when you mix them. All of the nuts should be out of the shell. Place the ingredients in a large bowl and mix them with your fingers. Transfer the trail mix to several resealable plastic bags. Keep a bag in your car and where you work and refrigerate the rest. |

Nuts contain many factors that could be responsible for protection against heart disease, including fiber (page 512), vitamin E (page 609), alpha-linolenic acid (found primarily in walnuts), oleic acid, magnesium (page 551), potassium (page 572), and arginine (page 467). |

See book keywords and concepts |  Increase your intake of monounsaturated fats and the amino acid arginine by eating regular but moderate amounts of nuts and seeds such as almonds, Brazil nuts, coconut, hazelnuts, macadamia nuts, pecans, pine nuts, pistachios, and sesame and sunflower seeds; and by using a monounsaturated oil such as olive, macadamia, or canola for cooking purposes. þEat five or more servings daily of a combination of vegetables and fruits, especially green, orange, and yellow vegetables, dark colored berries, and citrus fruits. þLimit your intake of refined carbohydrates. |

See article keywords and concepts | | One of the best regions in the world in which to grow macadamia nuts is Hawaii, but the industry there is about to be devastated, and in another five years it may not exist at anywhere near the same level it does today. Sadly, thousands of acres of macadamia nut trees, along with the farmers who tend them, could be economically wiped out. Given that macadamia nut trees take about seven years to produce their very first nut and 15 years to reach maturity, this is not an industry that can recover overnight. |
