What are Macadamia Nuts?
Macadamia nuts are rich, flavorful nuts native to the continent of Australia, although they are also cultivated in Hawaii. These nuts made an important traditional food source for native Australians, who called them Jindilli or Kindal Kindal nuts. Macadamia nuts can be found in many markets, although they tend to be expensive. They are almost always found shelled, which means that they should be carefully stored so that they do not become rancid. Several suppliers also ship macadamia nuts directly to consumers.
