Macadamia, (genus Macadamia), genus of four species of evergreen trees belonging to the family Proteaceae known for their richly flavoured edible seeds. The trees originated in the coastal rainforests and scrubs of what is now Queensland in northeastern Australia and are grown commercially in a number of subtropical areas. Commonly known as macadamia nuts, the seeds are often roasted and salted or are used by bakers and chocolatiers in confections and chocolates. They are a good source of calcium, phosphorus, iron, and vitamin B, and they contain 73 percent fat. Macadamia integrifolia, commonly called macadamia nut, is a large, spreading broadleaf evergreen tree that typically grows to 30-50' tall. It is native to rainforests in southeastern Queensland, Australia. Macadamia nuts were a food source for aborigines long before Europeans first visited Australia. This tree was first introduced to Hawaii in 1837. Glossy oblong-lanceolate to oblong-ovate leaves (to 8-10" long) usually in whorls of three have slightly wavy margins. Sweetly fragrant, white to pinkish-white flowers (each to 1/2" long) in narrow drooping axillary racemes (to 8" long) bloom in winter and spring. Flowers are followed by the nuts. Each creamy white nut is encased in a hard, smooth, shiny shell. Shells are so hard that they cannot be opened by hand nutcrackers. Commercial fruits are opened by powerful husking machines.
