Macadamia nuts are nutritional powerhouses. Regular consumption can potentially have lifelong positive effects — including prevention of cardiovascular disease and cancer. Every February, National Macadamia Nut Month reminds us of their many health benefits, while also showing off their versatility. So this month, get busy with macadamia nuts. That includes cooking, baking, and of course, snacking.
