I'll never forget rolling up to that macadamia nut farm near Cairns, Australia... On board our tour bus was a jovial driver/tour guide, a tentative Asian couple, and the other half of my failing relationship. My relationship didn't survive the trip, but my new love for "macs" (as the Aussies call them) did!
Lately, with somewhat limited food choices, I've been drawn to more decadent snacks. Three plump dates and the same number of macadamia nuts gives me crunchy and chewy textures, and sweet and salty flavors - yum!
Not only are macadamia nuts delicious, they're great for you! They contain complete proteins, vitamin E, and a good dose of fiber. Dates, too, pack a delicious punch! Not only does eating them provide some protection against oral and breast cancer, but they are excellent sources of iron (great for the ladies when Aunt Flo comes for a visit), and vitamin A - which is important key to good vision!
Together, when eaten in moderation, they are a tasty way to satisfy cravings and do your body some good too!
