Macadamia trees were first cultivated in Australia in the 19th century by a chemist after whom the tree was eventually named. Prized for the tree's visual appeal, the nuts were originally ignored due to the difficulty in cracking the extremely hard nutshell. Macadamia Trees were first brought to Hawaii in 1881-82 and with the island's perfect growing conditions and volcanic soil, the trees thrived. They are now grown as a cash crop in Hawaii. These trees live for a very long time; some trees in Queen's land are 150 years old. During the summer, each spray of 40 to 50 flowers on the Macadamia Tree product 4 to 15 'nutlets' that will ripen into large clusters of nut flowers. In six months of development on the tree, the nuts fall to the ground. During processing, the soft husk is stripped from the hard shell surrounding the Macadamia kernel. Macadamia Nuts are high in monounsaturated fats and have been shown to lower the risk of heart disease and high blood pressure by reducing harmful cholesterol levels. The flavor profile of a Macadamia Nut is sweet and buttery. Our Macadamia Nuts come raw which allows for greater versatility. Macadamia Nuts can also come from Australia, South Africa, Brazil, and Costa Rica.
