Varieties
There are approximately six varieties of macadamia trees that grow in hot humid climates. The round beige nut has a thick hard shell, although some varieties have been developed in recent years with a softer shell. Australia and Hawaii are the leading producers of macadamia nuts.
Availability
Since macadamia nuts are hard to open, they are most often available shelled. When purchased unshelled, they can be opened with a special nutcracker designed for macadamia nuts or with a hammer. |
