About macadamia nuts

Macadamias are grown mainly in South Africa, Australia, Kenya and China. Kernels are graded into styles, from Style 0 large wholes down to Style 7 small pieces.

Whole kernels go to snacking and premium retail. Halves and pieces go to bakery, confectionery and ice cream makers.
