We’ve all heard of pasteurised milk, but now the same process is being applied to macadamia nuts in what could be a world first.
The Macadamia Processing Company has recently taken delivery of a state-of-the-art nut pasteuriser, which cleans the macadamia nuts in a vaccum chamber using steam jets.
Worth just over $1.7-million, the European system was assembled in several sections and is currently processing 25 tonnes of nuts per day.
Thankfully, producers are confident the new process causes no change to the taste and texture of the popular native nut.
