Blame the Botanical society not me.

The nuts are a valuable food crop. Only two of the species, Macadamia integrifolia and Macadamia tetraphylla, are of commercial importance. The remainder of the genus possess poisonous and/or inedible nuts, such as M. whelanii and M. ternifolia; the toxicity is due to the presence of cyanogenic glycosides. These glycosides can be removed by prolonged leaching, a practice carried out by some Indigenous Australian people in order to use these species as well.

The two species of edible macadamia readily hybridize, and M. tetraphylla is threatened in the wild due to this. The nut was first discovered by Europeans south of Brisbane in 1828 by the explorer and botanist Alan Cunningham. One of the locations where wild nut trees were originally found was at Mount Bauple near Maryborough in southeast Queensland, Australia. Locals in this area still refer to them as "Bauple nuts". The macadamia nut is the only plant food native to Australia that is produced and exported in any significant quantity.[c

You asked for edible nuts, not botanical nuts. 

[kinboshi]

They're not nuts, and 3 isn't between 2 and 11.

Sigh. Edible nuts do not have to be classed nuts by the botanical society!!!!

I recognise that from wikipedia. Now check on the page for what constitues a nut where it states quite clearly that the macademia is not a nut.

..and are you blaming the mathematical society for 3 not being between 2 and 11; and blaming who exactly for 'below the bottom lip' being the same as 'the lips'?
