🌰 Why add raw macadamia nuts?

 

Raw macadamia nuts are an excellent way to add nuts to your daily menu. They have a pleasant mild flavor and creamy texture, and thanks to the naturally contained fats and other nutrients, they are suitable for a varied and balanced diet.

Unlike roasted nuts, raw macadamia nuts are used directly in the recipe, without prior roasting. This preserves its natural flavor and characteristic soft texture.

 

💡 Tip

 

If you prefer an even crunchier salad, leave the macadamia nuts whole or break them into larger pieces. You can also add a little fresh parsley or mint for extra freshness.
