Macadamia nuts, Macadamia nut chocolate, macadamia nut cookies, even macadamia nut pop-corns are gifts that visitors to Hawaii often bring home when visiting Hawaii. Little known to most visitors are the precious Macadamia nut blossom honey. The honey is harvested from the pristine macadamia orchards located san islands from February to April every year.The main producers are however, located on the island of Hawaii, or the Big Island. The honey tastes velvety, nutty, rich, has a robust, caramel-like taste. It is unfiltered, pure, ambered coloured, and 100% raw. The Hawaiian honey is gathered by bees from the blossoms of the macadamia nut tree (Macadamia integrifolia).
Macadamia nut blossom nut is sweetest of the three main varietals produced on the Hawaiian island. It is can be consumed on its own. It also make great tasting drink when dissolved in plain water or added to herbal teas. Of course don’t forget to add the honey to your fruit salad, yogurt, or waffles.
What is the one important difference between Macadamia nut blossom honey and the usual gifts? At least I like to think that honey is healthier than the usual gifts. So the next time you visit Hawaii and you want to find a healthy gift, go for the Hawaiian honey. For Singapore residents, it can be purchased from Vitamin.sg
