They are widely used in commerical application due to their versatility. With a buttery, slightly sweet taste and satisfying crunch, whole premium macadamia nuts work great to make hand made confections as well as to make other gourmet snacks.

Also known as "bush nut" or "Hawaii nut", macadamia nuts originate from Australia. Today, they are predominately grown in South Africa, Australia, and Hawaii. Macadamia nuts are a rich source of many different vitamins and minerals, including thiamin, vitamin B6, manganese, iron, magnesium and phosphorous. Compared to other nuts, such as almonds and cashews, macadamias are high in total fat and relatively low in protein. They are made up of 59% monounsaturated fats, 17% of which is the omega-7 palmitoleic acid.
