- HIGHLIGHTS
Nature's Approved® Organic Macadamia Oil is cold Cold Pressed from choice selected nuts grown free of herbicides and pesticides and free of chemicals in processing. It is unrefined. The oil is double filtered before storage in steel drums under a nitrogen blanket thus ensuring the freshness of the oil. We also transfer it to Cubitainers which ensure that oxygen is excluded as the oil is gradually used thus ensuring a long shelf life. As such it retains vitamins and enzymes from the nut as well as the unusual oil characteristics. It contains 81% mono-saturated fat, which is higher than olive oil, and its high smoke point (330 degrees) and mild nutty flavor makes it ideal for sautéing fish, chicken, and vegetables. Especially delicious in salad dressings.. Macadamia oil has 81% monounsaturated fats and 3% polyunsaturated fats. The ratio of unsaturated fats to saturated fats is better than olive oil with 5.25 to one compared to 4.6 for olive oil.
