History of Macnut
South Head Macadamia orchard is a family-owned farm located in the heart of the macadamia-growing region. Established in the early 1980s on a 105-acre dairy farm, the orchard planted 10,500 macadamia trees between 1980 and 1983. In 2008, MacNut World Group Ltd purchased the orchard and has since continued to grow and harvest the finest quality macadamia nuts using sustainable and organic farming practices.
The orchard is home to thousands of macadamia trees, predominantly the hybrid species called “Beaumont,” known for its superior sweeter tasting nut. The Beaumonts must be handpicked, as they do not drop their nuts like most Australian and Hawaiian species, allowing for a cheaper ground harvest.
South Head Macadamia orchard is committed to sustainable and organic farming methods that promote the health and well-being of the environment, soil, and trees. Their macadamia nuts are grown with minimal impact on the environment and without the use of harmful chemicals, ensuring the safety of both customers and the environment.

Nutritional Benefits of Macadamia Nuts

Macadamia nuts are gluten free and are a good source of vitamin B1, magnesium, and manganese.

Macadamia nuts contain monounsaturated fats that are beneficial for heart health. These healthy fats help to lower LDL (bad) cholesterol levels and increase HDL (good) cholesterol levels in the body. Additionally, macadamia nuts also contain antioxidants that help to reduce inflammation in the body.
