Extracted from ready-to-eat Macadamia integrifolia seeds( from the Macademia Ternfolia Tree), which are grown for edible nuts. The macadamia nut is also known as the "Queensland nut". As the title suggests, it is endemic to Australia, where it can be a staple of native diets. The Macadamia nut was originally developed in Hawaii in the 1930s and later became a native plant.
