What Are Macadamia Nuts?
Macadamias are creamy, buttery nuts native to Australia and now grown widely in Hawaii, New Zealand, and South Africa.
They are best known for:
-
Their high monounsaturated fat content (the “good” fat)
-
Smooth, rich taste
-
Satisfying crunch
At Lowrey Foods, we source premium roasted macadamias for our Macadamia Butter Toffee Crunché — offering both flavour and health benefits.

7 Health Benefits of Macadamia Nuts
1️⃣ Heart Health
Macadamias contain oleic acid, the same healthy fat found in olive oil.
Studies show it may help lower LDL (bad) cholesterol while raising HDL (good) cholesterol.
2️⃣ Anti-Inflammatory Power
Rich in monounsaturated fats and antioxidants, macadamias help reduce inflammation — a key factor behind many chronic diseases.
3️⃣ Weight Management
Despite being calorie-dense, macadamias promote fullness and reduce hunger.
They contain fibre and protein to keep you satisfied longer.
4️⃣ Blood Sugar Control
Macadamias have a very low glycemic index.
They won’t spike blood sugar, making them a smart snack for people managing diabetes.
5️⃣ Improved Brain Function
The healthy fats in macadamias help support cognitive function and memory.
They’re packed with palmitoleic acid, which may protect nerve cells.
6️⃣ Bone Health
Macadamias deliver magnesium, potassium, and calcium — key minerals that contribute to bone strength.
7️⃣ Skin Glow
The oils in macadamias (especially palmitoleic acid) nourish skin from within and may help keep it smooth and hydrated.
