Macadamia nut

A macadamia nut is a rich, buttery-tasting nut native to Australia. It grows inside a hard shell on macadamia trees, which thrive in warm climates. The nut is high in healthy monounsaturated fats, fiber, vitamins, and minerals, making it nutritious. Typically, the shell is cracked open to access the edible kernel, which is often roasted or raw and used in baking, snacks, or as a topping. Due to its creamy texture and mild flavor, the macadamia nut is popular worldwide, especially in desserts and confections. It is also considered a valuable crop with significant commercial cultivation.
