How Much is a Serving of Macadamia Nuts?

The recommended serving of macadamia nuts is one ounce (or 28.35g) of macadamia nuts, which is equal to around 10-12 nuts or a handful.

A serving of macadamia nuts this size contains 204 calories. This might sound a lot because macadamia nuts are one of the highest-calorie nuts due to the fact they’re rich in natural fats.
