The nuts are then harvested, roasted, & washed.
 The nuts that fall to the bottom of the 'washing machine' are kept.
 The nuts that float are not considered quality product, and are crushed and used as fertilizer


This whole process is done by hand. Marcus (striped shirt) has worked in this processing plant for 21 years.
He hand sorts out the darkest macedamia nuts
He works 10 hour days and makes $150.00 a week
This is considered a good wage


Finished product
Amazing!
