Macadamia
What it is
Macadamias are edible nut kernels. The reference describes raw kernels and excludes added salt, roasting oil and coatings.
What it does
The record contains 75.8 g of total fat per 100 g, including 58.9 g of monounsaturated fat. It also supplies 1.2 mg of thiamin, a vitamin involved in energy metabolism.
Research context and ingredient forms
The monounsaturated amount is one part of total fat, not an extra quantity to add to it. The food profile also does not measure the health effects of a particular serving.
Using this information
A weighed 30 g amount is 30% of the table values. Use the actual label for chocolate-covered or salted macadamias rather than the plain-kernel reference.
Considerations
Macadamia is a tree-nut allergen; ingredient and cross-contact information matter when avoiding it.
