Creative Beading

i’M TRYING TO MAKE BEADS OUT OF MACADAMIA NUTS?

I’ve drilled a hole through, now i just need a technique to get the flesh out ( as i’m worried it will go rancid, mouldy and smelly), though about possibly using ants or some other bug to eat them out, a chemical way would be easier.Any ideas?

macadamia nuts are almost 100% fat, look at the label. They probably WILL go rancid, mouldy and smelly no matter what you do i’m thinking – perhaps a food dehydrator?
