    Almonds are the ultimate “power snack”, with their rich nutritional benefits and low glycaemic index for lasting energy.

    Coconut oil is still a saturated fat, but it has a lower smoke point, making it less ideal for recipes involving high heat. However, it’s perfect for baked goods and granola.

    Faithful to Nature Macadamia Nuts – Raw

    Macadamia nuts are top-level when it comes to nut rankings, the real crème de la crème — packing heaps of benefits into those little beige bods.
