Hello, Penny,
Yes, a macadamia nut's shell is very, very hard, indeed.
One of the reasons macs are so costly is that it is both difficult to crack the shell and to do so keeping the kernel whole.
We purchased a mac cracker from a macadamia coop in San Diego County a year ago, for the incredible sum of 70 bux. I've never spent anything near that for an ordinary nutchracker. But guess what: it works like a charm, even enabling a neophyte like me to crack out some nuts with whole kernels. Wow!
It is really an experience to crack such nuts, because their shells fly everywhichway, at incredible velocities, owing to the hardness of their shells.
How is Jim doing??
Ron
