Did you know? Macadamias are a fascinating group of plants with four recognised species. Two of these-macadamia tetraphylla and macadamia integrifolia-are cultivated for nut production in Australia, renowned for their rich, buttery flavour.
The remaining species include macadamia jansenii, an endangered plant found in just one known population, making it a rare gem of biodiversity. In areas where different macadamia species coexist, natural hybridisation often occurs, contributing to their adaptive evolution and genetic diversity.
Suggested Storage: Store in a cool, dry place below 30ºC in tightly sealed containers. Keep away from direct sunlight and moisture. For extended shelf life, refrigeration is recommended once opened.
