The Simpsons should have gone easier on their boisterous family dog

when he devoured Homer’s beloved macadamia nut cookie. Who could resist such a temptation? The delectably rich, refined and savory flavor of the macadamia perhaps makes it the most esteemed and expensive nut in existence. It is not only treasured on account of its unique flavor but also because of its extremely rigid and difficult to crack shell which requires specialized harvesting equipment. In fact, the only other being crafty (or powerful) enough to break into it is the macaw parrot.

Native to Australia,

the tropical macadamia goes nuts for your heart. It has the highest amount of healthy mono-unsaturated fats of any other nut, which has been shown to lower LDL cholesterol as well as risks for cardiovascular disease, atherosclerosis, diabetes, and colon cancer. The macadamia also contains palmitoleic acid, an omega-7 fatty acid that research suggests can assist in combating weight gain by increasing metabolism and reducing fat storage.

Further more, the valued nut is also a good

source of important vitamins and minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, potassium, iron and riboflavin. With their luscious unique taste and notable nutritional profile, it's no wonder nature protected the macadamia in a hearty shell.
