The macadamia nut is the most expensive nut in the world, with the hardest shell to crack. These exotic nuts are full of quality protein and have a rich, buttery flavor—making them ubiquitous in both the snack aisle and on dessert menus.
What is a Macadamia Nut?
Macadamia nuts are the fruits produced by macadamia trees, a species of evergreen trees indigenous to Australia. Macadamia nuts have other names in different parts of the world: they are also known as the Queensland nut; bush nut; maroochi nut; bauple nut; and Hawaii nut.
Where Do Macadamia Trees Grow?
In the U.S., macadamia trees grow in Southern California and Hawaii. However, the biggest commercial production of macadamia nuts is concentrated in Hawaii and South Africa. Macadamia trees also grow in other tropical climates, including New Zealand, Kenya, and Indonesia. Macadamia nut production takes five years after a macadamia tree has been planted, which is why the nuts are so expensive to import
