About Macadamia Nuts

One ounce of raw macadamia nuts provides approximately 201 calories, 2.2 grams of protein, 3.9 grams of carbohydrate, 21.2 grams of fat, and 2.4 grams of fiber. The serving contains about 1.5 grams of net carbohydrate and has a negligible glycemic load.

Macadamias are dominated by monounsaturated fat and provide manganese, thiamin, copper, magnesium, iron, and phosphorus. They are one of the most energy-dense common nuts.

Use macadamias in measured snack portions, salads, baked dishes, crusts, or homemade nut butter. Flavored and chocolate-coated products may contain substantial added sugar and sodium.
