AB Macadamia nut is an alternative crop for agricultural production in tropical Latin American countries. Its cultivation in itself constitutes a challenge for countries with high relative humidity temperatures, especially in the postharvest period. Environmentally friendly technologies suggest a comprehensive nut in shell (NIS) and kernels treatment, taking advantage of the waste generated in the drying process, critical point. This chapter explores the methods of the literature and those applied in local research for the integral use, drying of macadamia nuts, and their processing until obtaining products of high nutritional quality (dried nut and oil) and with clean technologies applicable to small producers.
