Macadamia
Nut tree genus
Macadamia is a tree native to Australia, cultivated for its edible nuts.
The nuts have a rich, buttery flavor and hard shells, making them among the most expensive commercially sold nuts: macadamia nut cookies, chocolate-covered macadamias.
Hawaii became a major producer in the 20th century.
