10 Macadamia Nut Oil Benefits No One Told You About

Macadamia Nuts are seeds produced by Macadamia Trees, a species of evergreen trees that are indigenous to Australia. These nuts have a subtle, butter-like flavor and a creamy texture. Macadamia Nuts are also known as the Queensland Nut, Bush Nut, Maroochi Nut, Bauple Nut, and Hawaii Nut. Macadamia shells are the toughest to crack, which is why they are mostly sold with the shell. Once the husks are removed from ripe nuts, machinery is needed to break open the shells. Fun Fact - it takes 300 pounds of pressure per square inch to crack the shell. However, what's more valuable is the Macadamia Nut Oil that can be extracted from these nuts for a number of benefits. It is clear to slightly amber in color and retains a slightly nutty flavor, to delight your senses.1. It is light and versatile:
