Macadamia nuts are the most expensive nuts in the world. Farmland for growing macadamias is worth millions of dollars and prices keep increasing.
The flowering macadamia trees originated in northeastern Australia and take 7 to 10 years to begin producing nuts. The nuts can only be harvested a few times a year.
Considered a high-quality dessert nut because of its rich, buttery flavor, macadamia nuts are a popular treat and a trendy import in countries like China and the United States.The main reason is the slow harvesting process. While there are ten species of macadamia trees, only 2 produce the pricey nuts and it takes seven to 10 years for the trees to even begin producing nuts.
Hawaii has the perfect climate for the trees — they need lots of rain, rich soil, and warm weather to thrive, which means regions that don't meet those requirements have to import macadamia nuts all the way from Hawaii, South Africa, Latin America, or Australia. And because it takes the trees anywhere from four to six months to flower, the nuts all mature at different times of the year.
Macadamias have become increasingly popular because of their high fat content. With 20.9 grams of fat per pound, they contain more fat than any other nuts, which is why people used to think macadamia nuts were unhealthy. In reality, a majority of that fat is 100% cholesterol free and contains palmitoleic acid, which can improve your metabolism and help your body maintain healthy levels of insulin.
