Macadamia nuts may not be everyday pantry staples like some other nuts, but their creamy, mild flavor offers a welcome change from the usual selection. Macadamia nuts originated in Australia, but they’re a popular crop in Hawaii and other areas worldwide.
“These tree nuts are known for their silky texture and high fat content,” says registered dietitian Julia Zumpano, RD, LD. “They’re full of healthy fats, fiber and other beneficial nutrients.”
