Brookfarm - Healthy & Gourmet Macadamia Goodness

Foodies looking for another line of gourmet foods should take note of Brookfarm. Recently introduced to the US market, this award-winning Australian company focuses on superior macadamia products. Big on flavor and quality, they are dedicated to using the finest local ingredients such as Australian Ocean Sea Salt, Lemon Myrtle and Bush Tomatoes from the Central Australian desert.

Cholesterol-free and high in monounsaturates, the premium cold-pressed Macadamia Oils are infused with clean flavors of Lemon Myrtle and Lime and Chilli. Offering a multitude of culinary possibilities, you can use it in salads, meat, seafood, veggie stir fries or as a base in pesto sauces. It's also perfect as a dipping oil for appetizers (For cooking inspiration, see award-winning chef Sally James' pesto recipe below).

The oven roasted Macadamia Nut collection is a great example of the slow-food production method, ensuring full flavor and nutritional integrity in each bite. Perfect as a cocktail snack or appetizer, the Kashmiri Chili and Sea Salt flavored nuts add a nice warm zing to the tastebuds. Another popular favorite is the Bush Pepper Spice and Sea Salt flavor.

I'm a big fan of the Natural Macadamia Muesli. By far one of the most flavorful muesli's I've ever tasted, it is a literal flavor explosion in your mouth. Packed with more than 17 ingredients, it includes buckwheat, bran, brown rice, natural sultanas, currants, and Brookfarm's sun-ripened macadamia nuts. GMO-free and low in fat, it is truly a healthy gourmet breakfast indulgence.

For folks who can't tolerate gluten, you're in for a tasty treat. The Gluten Free Macadamia Muesli has a wonderful wholesome flavor that is rare in many other 'healthy' muesli brands. As promised in their product label, it doesn't taste anything like cardboard. Loaded with macadamia nuts, sunflower and pumpkin kernels, and delicately sweetened with unprocessed Australian Bush Honey, it's only about 150 calories per serving.
