Raw Macadamia Nuts - Unique Quality



Raw macadamia nuts have quite a unique quality. Their shells are extremely hard and man is one of the limited animals that are able to at least open the shell to get to them. Coincidentally, Macaws are one of the few others. Another unique quality is that dogs or the canine genre will get quite ill and this illness will last for up to two days. The dog will not be able to stand and will in essence be poisoned. However, it will not kill them in very small quantities. Large quantities however, may increase this sickness and may even cause death so keep these away from the family pet, especially the dogs. Otherwise, the macadamia nut has and does offer many wonderful benefits.

These nuts are used for both a foodstuff, where they are covered with many sugar-based confections as well as and oil, and as a cream for the cosmetic industry. Lets explore this and discuss these aspects in depth.

The cosmetics industry is quite familiar with a product known as mink oil. And, this mink oil can be quite expensive. Macadamia nut oil produces the same qualities as mink oil does and even has directly been compared to one another. It is this oil that is highly coveted and added to various cosmetic based creams to tremendous success. Why is this? The most important Omega -seven additives is a practically perfect alternative to the mink oil considering that the oxidative stability in the macadamia is very high and many times be above twenty percent in it.

Macadamia nuts are better known as a food item and can be found in various states from raw to dried and even flavored as well as chocolate covered versions.

This nut was first documented in eighteen twenty-eight by Allan Cunningham. But, it would be named nearly thirty years later in eighteen fifty seven when Ferdinand von Mueller would call them "Macadamia." Of course, they were not entirely sure that it was okay to eat until a boy was seen eating one and suffered no ill effects.

These trees grow in Australia as well as Hawaii and are a large export with Australia boasting the export of over one hundred thousand tons a year. Hawaii also boasts this very popular export too.








One of the main macadamia orchards is owned by the Hershey Company and uses many in their own specialty confections. These trees were planted in nineteen forty six and considering that it takes ten years before the tree will mature and it will begin to produce nuts, it was not until nineteen fifty six when this company could begin using them.

Regardless, once a macadamia tree produces a nut, it will continue to produce for over one hundred years. Regardless, it all begins with raw macadamia nuts. Find out more tips about raw macadamia nuts at http://macadamia-nuts.researchguidetips.com
