Are Macadamia Nuts Keto Friendly?

Did you know that macadamia nuts have the highest fat content of any tree nut? That's good news for keto eaters seeking a snack to increase their daily fat intake. The macadamia nut is one of only a few foods that contains palmitoleic acid, a monounsaturated fat that speeds up fat metabolism.

A serving of 20 macadamia nuts contains only 2.4 g of net carbs. Manufacturers typically sell macadamia nuts in one-pound bags, so be mindful of your portion size.

Incorporate macadamia nuts into your diet by eating them raw, processing them into nut butter, or adding them to keto-friendly chocolate brownies.
