Known for its rich, buttery flavor, the nut is often used in baking, cooking, and as a snack. Rich in healthy fats, particularly monounsaturated fats, macadamia nuts are also a good source of vitamins and minerals, including thiamine and magnesium. They are often enjoyed raw, roasted, or as an ingredient in various dishes, making them a popular choice for health-conscious consumers.
