Macadamia Nuts Uniquely Contain Omega-7 Fat and Extremely Low Omega-6 Levels
Thomas DeLauer
Which NUTS Top the Charts with Healthy FATS?
What was said
"0.06 omega-3s. Sounds low, right? Well, guess how much omega-6 is? 0.368. It is super low in omega-3s and super low in omega-6s."
Unlike other nuts that contain problematic levels of omega-6 fatty acids, macadamia nuts contain only 0.368 grams of omega-6 per ounce—dramatically lower than almonds, walnuts, and pecans. The presenter explains macadamias are high in a unique fat called omega-7 palmitoleic acid and can be consumed in large quantities without disrupting the body's critical omega-3 to omega-6 balance.
