About Macadamia nuts

Macadamia nuts are the edible kernels of macadamia trees, used as snacks and in baking, confectionery, and savoury cooking. The shell is removed, and the kernels may be sold whole, chopped, or ground.

They are usually pale ivory and round or irregular when broken, with a firm, crisp bite and rich, buttery flavour. Common forms include raw or roasted kernels, as well as salted or coated products; these are not interchangeable for taste or composition.
