macadamia nut
Tropical tree seed
A macadamia nut is the round, cream-colored seed of an Australian tree, prized for its rich, buttery flavor and high fat content.
The hard shell makes them difficult to crack commercially, contributing to their expense.
Macadamias appear in cookies, chocolates, and Hawaiian cuisine: white chocolate macadamia nut cookies.
