Yes, Aboriginal people definitely ate macadamia nuts. The macadamia tree is native to Australia, and Aboriginal Australians have lived off the land there for over 60,000 years, so they were quite familiar with the macadamia nut as a food source. In fact, macadamia nuts were an important part of the traditional Aboriginal diet in the rainforest regions where they grow. The Aboriginal people had many innovative ways of processing and eating these high-fat nuts to derive energy and nutrients. So the short answer is: macadamia nuts were a tasty bush tucker enjoyed by Aboriginal populations for millennia before European settlement.

Macadamia nuts are notoriously pricey, and for good reason. These creamy, buttery treats are native to Australia and grown in limited quantities. The macadamia tree takes 7-10 years to produce its first crop of nuts, so production requires immense patience. Once ready for harvest, the nuts are hand-picked, carefully cured, and expertly shelled and roasted. With such a long and labor-intensive process, it’s no wonder macadamias fetch a premium price. Their rich, indulgent taste and smooth texture make them worth every penny. When you bite into a macadamia nut, you’re savouring a truly artisanal delicacy.

The answer to your question is that macadamia nuts can go rancid rather quickly if not stored properly. Within just 1-2 months of being shelled, macadamia nuts will likely start to taste bitter and smell off, indicating rancidity. To help macadamia nuts stay fresh and avoid rancidity, it’s best to store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer. The cool temperature helps slow down the oxidation process that causes nuts to go bad. With proper storage in the fridge or freezer, macadamia nuts can last for 6-12 months before going rancid. So be sure to enjoy those tasty macadamias soon after opening, and store any leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge or freezer if you want them to maintain quality and freshness.
