Macadamia nuts

The macadamia's creamy edible kernel is surrounded by the hardest of nutshells, which in turn is encased in a leather-like green husk. The nuts are characterized by their crisp texture, delicate flavor, versatility of use and long shelf life. Macadamia kernel is rich in macadamia oil which contains high levels of the nutritionally important monounsaturated fatty acids. Macadamia oil has higher levels of monounsaturated fats than any other oil, including both olive and canola oil. Macadamia nuts contain no cholesterol.
