If you are ever offered macademia nuts in the shell, say NO, NO, NO thanks. It is nearly impossible for a human to crack the shell without heavy machinery. My friend feeds them to his macaw who literally has the pressure of 1400 lbs in his beak. I took one home and couldn’t even smash it with a hammer. What kind of nut can’t be shelled with an ordinary nutcracker! Plus – all that work for a tasteless chunk of fat. (Insert Jessica Simpson joke here.) – Kiran
