Macadamia nuts, salted

Macadamia nuts are tree nuts, described here in their salted form. They mainly provide fat, with smaller amounts of protein and carbohydrate. Per 100g, they contain 78g of fat, including 11g of saturated fat, along with 7.9g of protein and 1g of salt.

Fat provides energy and helps the body absorb fat-soluble vitamins, while protein supports the growth and repair of tissues. Most of the fat in macadamia nuts is unsaturated, but their saturated fat and salt content are worth noting for people monitoring these in their diet. Their high fat content also makes them energy-dense. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
