1216.0. "Macadamias" by RUSURE::EDP (Always mount a scratch monkey.) Tue Apr 01 1997 15:14

    Where can one procure macadamias in quantities of a pound or so?  I'm
    looking for raw macadamias for baking, not the roasted and salted and
    price-jacked jars in supermarket nut sections.

	To shed more light on this: Macadamia nuts are grown in Hawaii, possibly in CA too. Part of the high price of these nuts in the Northeast is due to having to ship them a long distance (especially if from Hawaii). So I doubt that you can get them cheap here. And they may not be cheaper raw, because you then have to pay for shipping the added weight of the shells. The mail order houses are worth looking into. It may be cheaper to have them sent by mail order from Hawaii than to buy raw nuts in a store (if any stores around here carry them), because even though mail-order shipping is expensive, you eliminate the middleman.
