For thousands of years, before European settlement, these native nuts were part of Indigenous people’s diet. They grew in the rainforests of the wet slopes of the Great Dividing Range, and were first called gyndi, jindilli, and boomb era. We now know it as Macadamia, and grown in other parts of the world for its highly valued fatty acid profile.
