Aloha Macadamia Nut Friday!
Macadamia nuts are native to Australia,
and are named after chemist John Macadam, who promoted their
cultivation there. They are also sometimes known as Queensland
nuts, taking their name from the second largest Australian
state. In about 1890, they were brought to Honolulu from another
Australian state—Tasmania. In Hawaii, their trees were first
used just for ornamentation, but after about forty years they
began being used for culinary purposes. They have since become
one of the largest crops of Hawaii.
