Byron Bay Macadamia Muesli is made using only the finest local and imported ingredients available. We believe that everybody deserves to love their breakfast and we put the quality, taste, and nutrition of our products front and centre of everything we do. We know the importance of what we put into our stomachs. We don’t believe in hiding behind loads of sugar and salt. Our roasted muesli is sweetened by roasting with real Macadamia honey from the blossoms of local Australian Macadamia trees or Organic Coconut Syrup from our fair Trade partners in Java, together with Cold Pressed Macadamia Oil or Organic Coconut Oil.
We use Australian organic oats direct from the grower in South Australia, organic Australian cereals, hemp seeds, flaxseed and organic sultanas, raisins, apple, figs and pear. Our organic pecans come directly from the grower in central NSW.
Our Macadamia Nuts and cold pressed Macadamia Oil come from the North Coast of NSW or Southern Queensland, depending on the season. Our honey comes from Caniaba, inland from Byron Bay, from bees that collect nectar from the blossoms of the Macadamia flowers.
We source our spray-free Almonds from Australian growers and use high-grade organic GWS pepitas and Goji Berries from China and sesame seeds from India. Organic coconut, and coconut oil comes from the Philippines.
There is no refined sugar, no preservatives, no colourings and no artificial flavours in our muesli. There are absolutely no nasties! All our products are GMO Free.

- Macadamia nuts support good health and have been shown to reduce the risk of heart disease, contribute to healthy blood pressure and reduce cholesterol levels.
- Macadamia nuts are a rich source of nutrients and energy. They include protein for building and repairing muscles, manganese for strong bones, copper for our immune system, niacin, which is important for our nervous system, digestive system and healthy skin.
- Macadamia nuts contain prebiotic, soluble and insoluble fibre for good gut health. 100 g of macadamia provides 8.6 g or 23% of daily recommended levels of dietary fiber. Additionally, they are an excellent source of phytosterols such as ß-sitosterol and contain no cholesterol.
- They are packed with many health-benefiting nutrients, minerals, antioxidants and vitamins that are essential for optimum health and wellness.
- Since macadamia is free from gluten protein; it is one of the popular ingredients preferred in gluten-free foods.
- The nuts are rich source of monounsaturated fatty (MUFA) like oleic acid (18:1) and palmitoleic acids (16:1).
- Macadamias are an excellent source of minerals such as calcium, iron, magnesium, manganese and zinc. 100 g nuts provide 3.6 µg of selenium. Selenium is a cardio-protective trace element and an essential antioxidant cofactor for the glutathione peroxidase enzyme.
- Furthermore, the nuts are also rich in many important B-complex vitamins that are vital for metabolic functions. 100 g of nuts provide 15% of niacin, 21% of pyridoxine (vitamin B-6), 100% of thiamin, and 12% of riboflavin.
- They contain small amounts of vitamin-A, and vitamin-E. These fat-soluble vitamins are potent antioxidants and help protect cell membranes and DNA damage from harmful oxygen-free radicals.
In short, sweet, refreshing macadamias provide essential minerals, vitamins, and heart-friendly monounsaturated fatty acids and they taste great! -

We sweeten our muesli by roasting it with real honey from the blossoms of local Macadamia trees and Organic coconut syrup used in our vegan options.
