We harvested macadamia nuts from our 4 trees today. This is one of the many sustainable products grown in my area but only gained popularity when the Chinese started importing it.
Yet this is a very versatile commodity in ensuring food security and good flavor with very little effort or toxic chemicals required.
The nuts can make the easiest and tastiest vegan milk when first harvested. When dried, the nuts can last for many months without refrigeration or canning.
I have fond memories of my childhood tied to this nut. This nut was a great snack for us after school as children in the village. As an adult, I make awesome sauce for a plantains as a breakfast meal.
The breakfast was so good that I felt as though what I had been having in the in the city is tantamount to a saucide boombers otherwise known as ketchup, tartar sauce and salad dressing. My Kìgai macadamia sauce I created used only local ingredients.
