The macadamia nuts are originally from Australia. We have a macadamia tree in our back yard. We had to pick up all the fallen nuts off the ground and take off the green husk then put them in a warm, dry, place (our kitchen) to dry the nut and make it shrink away from the shell a little so we could crack open the shell and hopefully get a whole nut. The shells are very hard. After the nuts hung for a couple of days, we took them down and started cracking them open. Damon, Dad, Elena, and I took half a log, put the nut on it, took a smaller log and hit the nut until it cracked open. We tried to get whole round meat out. We didn't get a lot of whole ones. I tried the meat not roasted, but it wasn't that good. My dad roasted the meat in oil in the oven. I tried them after that and they were better.
