The macadamia nut has long been favored across every island of Hawaii. Now, you can enjoy them as a sweet indulgence, coated in your choice of chocolate. These roasted chocolate covered macadamia nuts can be richly coated with your choice of dark or milk chocolate, both of which provide a perfect complement to this popular nut. Hawaiian macadamia nuts offer dietary fiber, vitamins, minerals, protein and unsaturated fat. In fact, over 80% of the fat in the nut is the healthier, unsaturated type. Unsaturated fats have been associated with lowered cholesterol levels. A 2008 study at the Pennsylvania State University demonstrated that, after 30-days on a diet based on macadamia nuts, participants had lower cholesterol levels than those in the "control" group. Macadamias also contain very high levels of paimitoleic fatty acid, a quality fat commonly found in fish oil. As a result, macadamia nuts have been recommended as part of a heart-healthy diet. Dark chocolate in general offers a greater concentration of beneficial ingredients like antioxidants than other varieties. Antioxidants positively impact the free radicals that relate to aging. At the same time, high-quality cocoa butter and other top-of-the-line ingredients make for a great taste. We call that a win-win, and we're confident you'll agree!
