Macadamia nuts are sweet, with a flavor similar to coconut or Brazil nuts. They are also crunchy and make a good addition to salads, stews, rice dishes, and desserts. Chocolate covered macadamia nuts are often sold as a rich confection.
There are approximately six varieties of macadamia trees that grow in hot humid climates. The round beige nut has a thick hard shell, although some varieties have been developed in recent years with a softer shell. Australia and Hawaii are the leading producers of macadamia nuts.
