A Healthy Summer Addition - Australian Macadamias

If you fancy adding an extra dimension to your barbecue recipes and accompaniments, opt for a handful of Macadamias or two. Australian Macadamias have a unique sweet and buttery flavour, are crisp in texture, have a melt-in-the-mouth finish, and are suited to both sweet and savoury dishes.

Try adding them to salads and salsas, blending them to make Macadamia Pesto, which is perfect drizzled over barbecued vegetables; topping ice-cream, or simply serving as a nutritional boost with a glass of chilled Australian ‘White’.

Macadamias don’t just taste great, they also have a wealth of health benefits. Studies have proved that Australian Macadamia nuts, which are 100% cholesterol-free can protect against heart disease by significantly lowering cholesterol levels * and help to prevent conditions such as thrombosis. They contain omega 3, 6 and 9 EFA’s, a complex mix which helps to balance hormones, improve nerve function, memory and concentration, and improve skin texture.

They are also high in fibre, antioxidants and selenium, contain calcium and potassium and are a great source of protein, which make them the perfect high energy food for long summer days.
