Passion backed by Science!
Torere Macadamias international reputation for having the biggest and best tasting macadamias in the world, now has science validation for having the highest nutritional composition.
Six of Torere Macadamias best varieties were chosen after 35 years of research for analysis of their nutritional composition by Plant and Food Research in 2022 and funded by High Value Nutrition National Science Challenge. The results showed significantly higher concentrations of Vitamin C, B6 and Selenium than imported macadamias. High concentrations of other micro-nutrients include manganese, magnesium and dietary fibre; low in sodium and free from trans fatty acids.
This nutrition data has achieved a first in NZ and will be published in the NZ Food Composition Database for inclusion on NZ macadamia Nutrition Info Panels (NIP), replacing the existing Australian nutrition data on NZ macadamia food labels.
The nutrition results are so unique and significant that Plant and Food Research want to identify how and why and to replicate Torere Macadamias growing conditions and environment for all their new growers to achieve the same high nutrition results.
Together Plant and Food Research and Torere Macadamias will develop the NZ template for growing Torere Macadamia varieties to replace existing data that is currently based on the old NZ picking varieties or on macadamias grown overseas.
The high concentration of nutrients found in the Torere Macadamia kernels are also expected in high concentrations in the husks, leaves and shells. The Reddit Institute, Massey appointed a PHD student to complete a 3-year research project to identify the properties in the husks for Functional food, cosmetics, pet and stock feed to add to Torere Macadamias high value product range.
