Macadamia Nut Oil

You can travel the world over, and not find a more perfect cooking oil than Macadamia Nut Oil. Its naturally high smoke point (400-450 degrees Fahrenheit) allows for excellent cooking versatility, and even helps reduce the production of trans fatty acids.

To ensure quality and purity, Nut Hawai'i Macadamia Nut Oil uses only unrefined, unhybridized macadamias. These organically grown nuts are superior in quality and account for its unique nutritional profile.

At 81% monounsaturated fat, 2% polyunsaturated fat and an incredibly low 2.2 grams of saturated fat, Nut Hawai'i Macadamia Nut Oil has one of the healthiest unsaturated to saturated fat ratios, even greater than that of olive oil.

To retain the naturally occurring vitamins and enzymes, we rely on an expeller press and double filtration process. This, coupled with its delicious nutty flavor, makes Macadamia Nut Oil the perfect complement to chicken, fish, vegetables, stir fry and salad dressings.

Smoke Point?

Q: What is the smoke point of MacNut Oil and aren't there oils with higher numbers?

A: The smoke point of MacNut Oil is 410°F. This high number allows you the flexibility to use MacNut Oil at higher temperatures than most oils. While some coconut oils do have a higher smoke point (450°F), it is also very high in saturated fats (91%) - which may be dangerous to your heart. Peanut oil, is about the same, (450°F); and is very high in the pro-inflammatory type of omega-6 fatty acids (33%) as is the case with grape seed oil - 400°F smoke point but 72% of the dangerous omega-6 fatty acids. Smoke point isn't the whole story either. Some oils form free radicals and trans fats before they smoke.
