Las nueces de macadamia también son conocidas con el nombre de nueces australianas ya que junto a Nueva Zelanda y Hawai, Australia es uno de los mayores productores de este rico fruto seco. De forma contraria a lo que generalmente se piensa, macadamia no es un lugar del mundo, sino el nombre del árbol en el que crecen estas sabrosas nueces.
