Why choose Australian macadamias?
Versatile and multi-format
With a broad range of kernel sizes and styles, Australian macadamias are well suited to applications ranging from snacks and baked goods to plant-based dairy alternatives, confectionery, savoury dishes and desserts.

A whole food naturally rich in monounsaturated fats (Omega-9 and Omega-7), with a favourable Omega-6 to Omega-3 ratio, Australian macadamias support health-forward product positioning. They’re also packed with essential vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, phytochemicals and fibre, while being low in sugar and carbohydrates.
