They are tasty, they make lovely gifts ideas for returning travellers and to my mind they say New Zealand almost as much as Pineapple Chunks.
Macadamia nuts are predominantly grown in the southern hemisphere, with Australia the largest producer. New Zealand's production is smaller, but the quality is superb and for my interesting fact, contain no cholesterol.
Macadamias can be readily purchased in supermarkets and confectionists throughout the country, but for a new experience why not visit Cathedral Cove Macadamias on the Coromandel. This working orchard has always had an excellent reputation amongst food lovers and now the team are setting up regular tours of the orchard and their operation. And if you need more convincing, check out the recipes on their website, such as avacado/macadamia dip and the sumptuous looking macadamia crumbed scallops.
