macadamias
Round tropical nuts
Macadamias are round, cream-colored nuts with a rich, buttery flavor and hard shells.
Native to Australia, they're now cultivated in Hawaii and other tropical regions.
The nuts are expensive due to difficult harvesting and processing: macadamia-crusted fish, chocolate-covered macadamias.
Also called macadamia nuts.
