Most nutritive nut
 Nutritionists
have rated macadamia (Macadamia integrifolia) as the most
nutritive nut in the world. These nuts contain up to 75 per cent of
fat out of which one fifth is the useful omega-7 palmitoleic acid.
Besides this, these nuts contain 9 per cent protein, 9 per cent
carbohydrate, and 2 per cent dietary fiber, as well as calcium,
phosphorus, potassium, sodium, selenium, iron, thiamine, riboflavin
and niacin. A study carried out in Australia revealed that taking 6-20
macadamias daily could lower your harmful blood cholesterol and
triglycerides significantly. Macadamia nuts are native to Australia.
