A little twist. A satisfying crack. A delicious Australian macadamia. Meet the snack that gets everyone talking; easy-to-crack macadamias.
It’s World Vegan Day today, Sunday, November 1 marking the start of World Vegan Month throughout November.
Macadamia nuts are naturally 100% plant-based, making them a rich, buttery staple for a vegan diet.
Recipe: Macadamia ‘vegannaise’
You don’t need to be vegan to enjoy the wonderful flavours of this simple but healthy twist on a classic mayonnaise. The macadamias make a deliciously creamy and versatile condiment in just minutes.
Ingredients
½ cup macadamias
½ cup water
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon lemon juice (or to taste)
¼ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
½ cup vegetable oil
Method - Makes 1 cup
Place the macadamias and water in a high-speed blender and blend for 2-3 minutes until thoroughly combined. Add the mustard, lemon juice and salt and blend to combine. With the motor running, add the oil in a thin, steady stream until the mixture thickens. Initially it won’t be as thick as a traditional mayonnaise, but will thicken further with refrigeration.
Season to taste with extra lemon juice and salt if desired.
Serve with sweet potato chips, sprinkled with coriander and chilli flakes
Spooky Halloween Macadamia Bliss Ball Spiders
Ingredients
8 fresh dates pitted and roughly chopped (approx. 180g)
1/2 cup macadamias plus 4 extra, cut into fangs
1/4 cup cranberries roughly chopped plus 1 tablespoon finely chopped pieces for eyes and red back spot
2 1/2 meters liquorice string cut into approximately 4cm pieces for legs
Store-bought white fairy floss to serve (optional)
Method
Place the dates, macadamias and cranberries in the bowl of a food processor and process until the mixture combines so that when pressed together it forms a ball.
Roll the mixture into 8 balls and 8 smaller balls. Press each small ball onto a big ball by pressing firmly together.
Use the chopped macadamias to create fangs and press in the chopped cranberries for eyes and a red back.
Push each liquorice length into the bliss ball body to create legs. Serve on a platter with white fairy floss for a web, if desired.
Today we`re celebrating Nut Day!
Nuts are one of nature’s nutritional powerhouses. And they taste delicious too!
We should aim for a handful of nuts, every day.
What does this look like? Around 30g of nuts, or 1/4 cup of nuts, or 2 tablespoons of nut butter.
It could be as a snack, on your breakfast, in your salad or in cooking.
Packed into every handful of nuts is protein, fibre, healthy fats and at least 28 essential nutrients and bioactives.
So today of all days remember to have a healthy handful.

A spring moment in the macadamia orchard.
Macadamia trees flower differently from most other fruit and nut trees as the tree grows racemes; a flower cluster with the separate flowers along a stalk at equal distances along a central stem.
A 10cm stalk can carry hundreds of tiny flowers.
Each raceme spray of 40-50 flowers produces from four to 15 nutlets which then ripen into macadamia nuts.
Meet macadamia grower Miles Gillespie. Miles and his wife Rhianna both have strong connections to the Northern Rivers region of NSW. Today, they live at Serendipity Farm in Tregeagle, NSW, with their three-year-old daughter Harriet and dog Bingo. Miles enjoys his macadamias roasted and salted, preferably nut-in-shell with a saw-cut opening. His favourite way to use them in the kitchen is in a simple salad of oranges, pan-toasted macadamias, spinach and goat’s cheese, finished with olive oil. Sounds like dinner is sorted!
