What Are Macadamia Nuts?
Macadamia nuts come from the macadamia tree, a genus of four species of trees native to Australia. These evergreen trees thrive in subtropical climates and can grow up to 50 feet (15 meters) tall. Their nuts are encased in a hard, brown shell surrounded by a green husk. Cracking a macadamia nut shell requires considerable force, as it is one of the hardest nut shells in the world.
Macadamias are prized for their smooth, rich texture and subtle, buttery flavor. Beyond their culinary appeal, they are also valued for their high content of monounsaturated fats, antioxidants, and essential minerals such as magnesium and manganese.

Found on just two islands of the Seychelles archipelago in the Indian Ocean, the coco de mer palm has seeds or nuts that reach half a metre in diameter and can weigh as much as 25 kilograms. The outer shell is popular as a tourist souvenir while the edible inner kernel is desirable in Asian countries, where it is believed to have aphrodisiac properties. The seed's rarity and popularity make it a target for poachers and fraudsters. The coco de mer already featured an anti-counterfeiting tag system but the Seychelles Ministry of Environment, Energy and Climate Change found this original tag was easily falsified. "Our coco de mer need to have better protection," said Alain de Comarmond, principal secretary in the Ministry of Environment, Energy and Climate Change. "Due to thefts and falsification of the old tag, the ministry had to invest in new security measures."

Lodoicea maldivica, also known as the double coconut, or coco-de-mer, is renowned for producing the largest and heaviest seeds in the world. With their rather suggestive shape and weighing up to an impressive 25kg, while measuring up to half a metre long, these spectacular seeds are attractive to scientists, tourists and poachers alike. Legend has it that the double coconut possesses medicinal properties.

Due to overharvesting, there are now only around 8,000 wild mature Lodoicea palms on just the two islands of Praslin and Curieuse. The species is listed as Endangered on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. To protect them from going extinct, seeds in the wild and in botanical gardens worldwide that have manged to grow them, are carefully guarded, sometimes even placed in cages, to prevent poaching. Palms closely related to the double coconut also produce seeds tha
