Health Benefits of NZ Macadamias

• NZ Macadamias contain no cholesterol
• Medical studies have shown eating 6 - 20 macadamia nuts a day will lower your blood cholesterol levels by 7% in four weeks.
• The incidence of heart disease is significantly lower in people who eat macadamia nuts habitually (>5 times per week)
• They are high in fibre, antioxidants and Vitamins A, B group and E.
• They also have trace elements such as selenium, calcium, phosphorus, potassium, iron and magnesium.

New Zealand's optimum growing conditions, and varieties of trees also contribute to the health of the nuts. Our trees need to be hand picked and processed which has the advantage of avoiding any contamination from ground harvesting and mass production.

The hard shell which protects the kernel from pests and disease has to be removed in a hands-on process, but worth the effort to get to the sweet kernel.
