Macadamia facts!

Apart from being completely delicious and an Aussie native and farmed near my home in #Queensland, macadamia nuts are darn near uncrackable unless you have a fancy macadamia nut cracker.

Macadamia nut season is long. Macadamia nuts usually fall to the ground when they are ready, over 5–6 months. Chart: @DiDoesDigital

Macadamia nut shells are hard.
The hard macadamia shells are wrapped in soft green husks. After the husks are removed, the nuts are dried and cracked using specialist nut crackers.
