	Zenobia Nuts on the Net - About Macadamia Nuts
		Among the more recently cultivated nut crops, Macadamias first appeared as a food crop beginning in 1858, in Australia, after the British colonized the continent, There they were propagated within just a few years of their discovery, and the first people to enjoy them were the native aborigines.
		The nuts were named after Dr. John Macadam, a native of Scotland who became a speaker of some renown in 19th century Australia.
		According to popular legend, Dr. Macadam never saw a macadamia tree nor tasted one of its nuts, and, contrary to popular belief, these nuts do not take their name from the British engineer John McAdam, who invented the road-paving process that bears his name.
