Description
Macadamia integrifolia oil, commonly known as macadamia oil, is typically a clear to slightly yellowish oil. Its exact shade can vary based on several factors, including the processing method used, the soil and climate where the macadamia nuts were grown, and the specific variety of macadamia trees.
Cold-pressed macadamia oil, which is processed without high heat or added chemicals, tends to be more golden or yellowish in color due to the retention of natural compounds in the oil. When refined, the oil can be clearer or lighter in color.
It’s worth noting that the color of the oil does not necessarily indicate its quality; both clear and more yellowish macadamia oils can be of high quality, depending on their intended use and processing method.
