Means for cracking and removing the inner shell of a Macadamia nut after its outer shell has been husked off comprising a vertical open top tubular member having a side wall opening with a nut feeder tube, and disposed upon a hard transverse surface, the inside diameters of the tubular member and its side opening and feeder tube all being such as to allow passage of nuts through them. Yielding means are provided to limit the entry of nuts from the feeder tube into the tubular member through the side wall opening and a grippable ram is slidably disposed in the tubular member for movement upward above the side wall opening, and forceful movement back down the tubular member past the yieldable means to crack a nut which has entered the tubular member through the side wall opening against the hard transverse surface on which the tube is disposed.
