For
- Mostly unsaturated fat: saturated fat is 16% of the fat — 3.6 g per serving.
- Fiber: 2.6 g per serving — 10% of the 25 g a day the WHO recommends.
Against
- Calorie-dense: 718 kcal per 100 g — a serving (handful, 30 g) is already 215 kcal.
A typical serving (handful, 30 g) has 215 kcal, 2.4 g protein, 23 g fat and 4.1 g carbs. Other weights in the table.
How we judge this, and the sources
For oils, nuts and seeds Nutri-Score uses its own table: instead of calories it weighs the share of saturated fat in the fat, plus sugar and salt, against protein and fiber. Calories don't count against them, which is why calorie density is listed as a separate reason.
The answer comes from the food's composition, not from opinion: its Nutri-Score grade on the open 2023 algorithm, a traffic light for sugar, salt, saturated fat and fiber per 100 g, and the share of daily reference amounts in a typical serving (for salt, sugar, fiber and vegetables, those of the WHO). It rates the food's nutrient profile; it is not medical advice. Formulas, thresholds and every source are on the methodology page; last checked against the sources on November 1, 2026. The short food description was written by our language model (AI) — how we check the text.

*Where the vitamin numbers come from
Vitamins and minerals come from the USDA FoodData Central record “Nuts, macadamia nuts, raw” (FDC ID 170178, SR Legacy; public domain), checked October 14, 2026; the record was matched to this food by calories, protein and fat. % DV is per serving, against the FDA Daily Values used on Nutrition Facts labels (2,000-calorie diet). The table lists nutrients that reach at least 2% DV per 100 g; the rest are absent or trace. Varieties, seasons and brands differ, and cooking in water leaches some vitamin C and B vitamins.

Healthier swaps for Macadamia Nuts
Why swap: macadamia nuts have a lot of saturated fat (12 g per 100 g). The swaps below fix that at the same calories.
How we pick
A swap is offered only for a real problem with the food (for grades C–E an amber traffic light counts too), from the same or a neighbouring category, in a serving matched to the same calories (±25%; drinks glass for glass) and no more than one and a half times the original weight, a full Nutri-Score grade better and with a noticeable gain per serving. We don't suggest “salad instead of pizza”.
