macadamia
Buttery tropical nut
Macadamia is a tree native to Australia, cultivated for its rich, buttery nuts.
The nuts have an exceptionally hard shell and are prized in baking and confections: macadamia nut cookies, chocolate-covered macadamias.
The tree genus is named after Scottish-Australian chemist John Macadam.
