“…Nitrogen concentrations were 6%-8% higher in kernels from small nuts ( Table 4). Nitrogen concentrations are correlated with protein concentrations in plant-foodstuffs [82], and nuts are often consumed as an important source of protein [21,[83][84][85]. Small kernels had 20%-29% higher calcium concentrations than large kernels (Table 4).…”

“…Small kernels also had 22% and 14% higher iron concentrations than large kernels in "Daddow" and "A4", respectively, and 11% higher zinc concentration than large kernels in "816" (Table 4). Nuts are recommended as a source of calcium, iron and zinc, which are often absorbed in insufficient levels, particularly during infancy, childhood, adolescence, pregnancy and breastfeeding [16,17,[19][20][21][85][86][87][88][89]. Magnesium concentrations were 9% higher in kernels from small nuts than large nuts of "Daddow" and "816" (Table 4).…”

Tree nuts play an important role in healthy diets, but their economic value and nutritional quality may be affected by their size and paternity. We assessed relationships between nut size and kernel recovery, the incidence of whole kernels, fatty acid composition and mineral nutrient concentrations in three macadamia cultivars, "Daddow", "816" and "A4". We determined to what extent differences in nut size and quality were the result of different levels of cross-or self-paternity. Small nuts of all cultivars had lower kernel recovery than large nuts, and small nuts provided lower incidence of whole kernels in "Daddow" and "A4". Small kernels had a lower relative abundance of the saturated fatty acid, palmitic acid, in all cultivars and higher relative abundance of the unsaturated fatty acid, oleic acid, in "Daddow" and "A4". Small kernels had higher concentrations of many essential nutrients such as nitrogen and calcium, although potassium concentrations were lower in small kernels. Most nuts arose from cross-pollination. Therefore, nut size and kernel quality were not related to different levels of cross-and self-paternity. Identified cross-paternity was 88%, 78% and 90%, and identified self-paternity was 3%, 2% and 0%, for "Daddow", "816" and "A4", respectively. Small macadamia kernels are at least as nutritious as large macadamia kernels. High levels of cross-paternity confirmed that many macadamia cultivars are predominantly outcrossing. Macadamia growers may need to closely inter-plant cultivars and manage beehives to maximise cross-pollination.Plants 2020, 9, 228 2 of 14 also a valuable source of calcium, iron and zinc, which can be absorbed insufficiently during phases of high dietary demand such as infancy, childhood, adolescence, pregnancy and breastfeeding [16][17][18][19][20][21].The fatty acid composition and nutrient concentrations of tree-nut kernels can vary greatly among cultivars [9,[22][23][24][25][26][27][28]. Fatty acid composition and nutrient concentrations can also vary within almond or pistachio cultivars because of differences in the pollen parentage of individual kernels [22][23][24][25]29,30]. For example, self-pollinated kernels of some almond cultivars have lower oleic:linoleic acid ratios than cross-pollinated kernels [25,29]. In addition, self-pollinated kernels of some almond, chestnut and hazelnut cultivars are smaller than cross-pollinated kernels [22,[31][32][33]. Such effects of the paternal genetic background on the size or quality of the embryo are termed "xenia", and xenic effects are common in fruit and nut crops [34]. Therefore, maximising both yield and human-health benefits may depend upon ensuring high levels of cross-pollination in tree-nut orchards.Relationships between kernel size, nutritional composition, and cross-or self-paternity are poorly understood for some nuts, including the subtropical tree nut, macadamia (Macadamia integrifolia, M. tetraphylla and hybrids). Macadamia flowers are bee-pollinated and partially self-incompatible [35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42]...

“…In Italy, the percentage of people following a vegetarian diet (vegan or lacto-ovo-vegetarian) has doubled in the past 5 years and is around 7.3% (71). Although it is not possible to know the exact number of vegetarian children, vegetarian parents frequently choose vegetarian diets for their children (72).…”

“…The risk of nutritional deficiencies in plant-based diets increases the more restrictive the diet is and the younger the child (69). In the first year of life, the infant can be fed either breast milk or formula milk, and at this age, the only alternative to cow's milk formulas are plant-based formulas such as soy-based formula (72).…”

“…However, rice milk provides very little protein-another much-needed nutrient for child growth. The addition of an appropriate protein powder, such as soy or pea, to rice milk may be needed to ensure adequate protein intake and proper growth and development (Baroni, Goggi, and Battino 2018). Additionally, it is important to note that caution should be taken regarding the amount of rice milk a child drinks due to the risk of arsenic toxicity, as discussed above (Carignan et al 2016).…”

Rice milk is a plant-based, nondairy beverage made primarily from milled rice and water. It is marketed as an allergy-friendly, easy-to-digest, vegan substitute for cow's milk. Similar to other plant-based beverages, rice milk usually has an opaque white or beige color and creamy texture resembling that of cow's milk. This new 4-page publication of the UF/IFAS Food Science and Human Nutrition Department describes how rice milk is made, its ingredients and nutrient profile, and potential health benefits and risks of consumption.
