      Macadamia nuts are not that cheap in Australia. It's common to find the nuts selling for AU$25-$50/kg in most supermarkets. It's only a few rural areas where you can buy macadamias (in the shell) on the side of the road for AU$5-$10 per bag - up to 2kg per bag.

She said "yes they are" and told me I could have them. After eating most of the macadamia nuts she turned to me and said: "those are my favorite but ever since I lost my teeth I can only suck the chocolate off of them".

    Uh, that was a very short video. So how does something go from $1.10/lb end up retailing for $25/lb? That's an enormously huge gap that someone needs to explain to us. Sounds to me like global price fixing. I'd appreciate it if you would drill down and do some further investigation into this mystery. It kind of reminds me about the story of butter. For man years, margarine came out as an alternative to the often vilified butter for its rich fatty content. Then lo and behold, butter turned out to actually be good for you. And then, of course, margarine studies all suggested this was crap. The results: butter prices soared overnight, never to dropdown again.

    It's a matter of high status having expensive products. And it is more sustainable waiting to get the best quality life, than to rob your way into richness, trampling over others who rightfully deserve to be wealthy. Think twice before wishing for macadamia status to no longer be "the most expensive nut". If forced unsustainable agriculture is implemented to achieve that, what of an achievement is this?? Think twice

      Harold Flowers the most enjoyed nut comes on December 1st, therefore making it the most priceless. A nut in November is the cheapest because it is only for people who have failed, enjoying it while being dissatisfied with themselves at the same time, having *laid* down their arms. With the size of the “load” that comes on December 1st being largest in quantity, you get more *bang* for your buck.

    I live in Australia where most of the country's macadamia nuts are grown. The Macadamia nuts grown on my neighbours farm get processed, roasted and salted or honey added. They are mostly sent to American restaurants with the end user around $100 per KG in USD. I find this hilarious considering I can get the same bags from the processing facility for only $27 AUD. The damand in Australia however is a lot lower than the demand overseas.

    Before European settlement, Aboriginal people congregated on the eastern slopes of Australia’s Great Dividing Range to feed on the seed of two evergreen trees, one of which they called ‘Kindal Kindal’ which was the macadamia. Aboriginal peoples had other names for macadamia including Boombera, Jindill & Baupal.
