Did you know that September 4th is National Macadamia Nut Day? This nut is commonly found in many desserts and baked goods. Macadamia nuts are originally from Australia. They can do anything except open bottles. Macadamia nuts are the best kind of nuts. They are creamy, buttery, and rich. Even though they are super delicious, they are also versatile. Their original discoverer was John Macadam, who was also the doctor and chemist who discovered them, but he didn't name them. He brought them to Australia to make them more abundant there. The macadamia tree is a large evergreen, growing up to 40 feet tall. It’s native to Australia, but most of the world supply grows in Hawaii. The first commercial plantings in Hawaii began in 1921. Other countries that produce macadamia nuts are Indonesia, South Africa, and California.

National Macadamia Nut Day is celebrated annually on September 4th!
