About Macadamia nut
A macadamia nut is the edible kernel of the macadamia tree, commonly eaten as a snack or used in baking, confectionery, and savoury dishes. The hard shell is removed before the kernel is sold for eating.
The kernel is usually round and pale ivory, with a dense, crisp texture and a rich, buttery flavour. It is sold raw or roasted, whole or in pieces, and may also be salted or coated; these preparations affect its taste and composition.
