Species Macadamia Nut Oil - 500 ml

Macadamia nut oil, as used in Species Macadamia Nut Oil 500 ml, contains the most potent level (84 to 85%) of oleic acid or monounsaturated fats compared with any other edible oil. It even surpasses extra-virgin olive oil which only has a 65 to 74% level of oleic acid. Enriched in omega-9 fat and oleic acid, Macadamia nut oil has been studied thoroughly and has shown properties that support the cardiovascular system and improve the body's preventive measures against cancer. Furthermore, Macadamia nut oil is regarded as the ideal standard for restoring cellular health and reducing internal inflammation. Want to know a frightening fact? Our ingestion of junk food and continuous use of vegetable oil in cooking has elevated the ratio of Omega-6 (linoleic acid) to essential fatty acids (Omega-3) in our daily food intake. The typical ratio in these modern times is 20:1. Compare that with the healthy lifestyle of our ancestors who gathered and hunted food without chemical use, they had a balanced 1:1 ratio, so it seems that our diet has become less healthful, especially where the fatty acid balance is concerned. So how do we attempt to fix this ratio of essential fatty acids and Omega-6 fats? Some people might suggest flax seed oil as the excellent supplement for balance, but this is a misconception. Although flax seed oil is healthful and contains beneficial amounts of Omega-3 fats, it has a low percentage of Omega-6 fats. Macadamia nut oil meanwhile, contains the ideal 1:1 ratio ideal for overall health. Macadamia nut oil is useful as a cooking and baking oil too. It has a high smoke point (410 degrees Fahrenheit) compared with all other edible oils, including olive oil, which start to smoke at 325 degrees Fahrenheit or even less, and the best part is that Macadamia nut oil doesn't degrade at all because of the heat. Last, Macadamia nut oil has a sweet buttery flavor, rich in vitamin E and is not easily affected by oxidation. So if you are looking for the ideal performance-enhancing, cardiovascular-supporting oil that contains a healthful ratio of fatty acids, Species Macadamia Nut Oil 500 ml is your best pick.
