Originally from Australia, these nuts were named after physician and chemist John Macadam and have been part of cultures for thousands of years. Although they are native to Australia, most of today's world supply grows in Hawaii. In 1882, macadamia trees were planted in Hawaii to shield sugar cane from the wind but then growers began cultivating macadamia trees in Hawaii in 1921. Growing macadamia nuts is time-consuming and labor-intensive. This contributes to their status as one of the most expensive nuts in the world. It can take up to ten years for the trees to produce their first crop, but once mature, they are capable of producing nuts for over a century.
