Macadamia
The oil content of good quality kernels is varying from 60 to 80 per cent which is the highest for any oil yielding nut. The nuts are eaten raw, dried, dry roasted, lightly roasted in coconut oil or in confectionary products. There are convincing evidence that the macadamia nuts are good to health and therefore dietitians are used to recommending macadamia nuts in a health diet.
Suitable site for macadamia in China are mainly concentrated on Yunnan Province southwest of China. Accurat figures of areas is not availabe because independent farmers are willing to try this crop due to its high income. It is estimated that Yunnan have developed more than 2000 ha macadamia. But few farmers have trained and therefore tree are grown not good due to deficiency of managing and skills.
