“Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.”
These seven words from Michael Pollan have become the universal advice for healthy eating. And macadamias, like other nuts, are a whole plant food. Whatever your dietary preferences, macadamias can play a starring role in a healthy eating regime. Here’s how they fit into a number of popular diets:
Macadamias and the Mediterranean diet
There are many well-studied health benefits of eating a Mediterranean diet – a largely plant-based eating pattern, which prioritises vegetables, fruit, whole grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, herbs, spices and olive oil. And the well-regarded, long-term PREDIMED study showed that the effects of the Mediterranean diet were even greater when a daily 30g serve of nuts was incorporated (1).
Macadamias and vegan eating
Keto, paleo and macadamias
Filled with healthy monounsaturated fats, macadamias are a great choice for people on a high-fat ketogenic diet. As a pure wholefood that undergoes very little processing between the tree and your tummy, macadamias can also be a mouth-watering part of a paleo eating plan.
No matter what your dietary preferences are, remember that macadamias are an incredibly-versatile ingredient and can be incorporated into sweet and savoury dishes for flavour, crunch and their many health benefits.
