Macadamia Nuts Health Benefits:
Macadamia nuts, which are grown locally, are a good source of fibre, the B-complex vitamins and calcium. Macadamia nuts contain significant amounts of fibre (helps the movement of the digestive tract) and the B-complex vitamins (mostly involved in the metabolic processes). To reduce sodium and added fats in the diet, avoid salted, oil-roasted macadamia nuts. Rather choose the plain roasted ones.
