National Macadamia Nut Day

A macadamia nut is a type of nut that is native to Australia but is now also grown in other regions such as Hawaii and California. The nut is encased in a hard, round shell, which must be cracked open in order to access the edible part. Macadamia nuts have a rich, buttery flavor and are often used in baking and confectionery. They can be eaten raw or roasted and are also commonly used in desserts such as cookies, cakes, and pies. In addition to their delicious taste, macadamia nuts are also a good source of nutrients. They are high in healthy fats, protein, and fiber, and also contain a range of vitamins and minerals including iron, magnesium, and potassium.
