The nuts are sweet and can be enjoyed eaten raw, roasted, fried, chocolate coated, candied, made into nut butters, biscuits, cakes and pies. They have a great crunchy texture. The two edible species M. tetraphylla (Northern NSW) and M. integrifolia(S.E. Qld) make up most of the commercial varieties below. Warning: Macadamia kernels are poisonous to dogs, even sometimes in small amounts, so keep them away from your canine friends.
