Macadamia nuts - a real treat, in more than one way!

The Macadamia nut, also known as Macadamia ternifolia, is a very healthy and "multi purpose" nut...

The nuts can be used to eat, as a snack, or in salads or on casseroles or vegetable dishes; they taste great: crunchy on the outside and lovely "melting" and smooth on the inside. They contain many healthy vitamins and minerals, like B-vitamins, Omega-3 fatty acids, calcium, magnesium, phosphor, potassium, zinc and copper. If you find the nuts too hard to bite, try soaking them overnight in a little water and you'll be surprised about the total different texture and taste: lovely soft and mild! Excellent nutritive. Only if you're watching your weight, you'd better be moderate with the quantities.
The macadamia oil (obtained by pressing of the macadamia nuts) is very suitable as an ingredient for skincare products. The oil is soothing and nurturing and has a pleasant smell. All skin types will benefit from this oil, and it's especially healing for the dry, irritated or rough skin. The oil isn't greasy and is easily absorbed. Apart from skincare products, Macadamia oil is also added to shampoos, lip gloss, sun care products, peelings and massage oils.
