This review is from: Macadamias - Whole 2 lbs. (32 oz.) (Misc.)

These macadamias arrived in 2 plastic bags, stuffed into a USPS flat-rate envelope. The envelope was a bit torn, but the bags were intact. The soft packaging could have resulted in a lot of broken nuts, but they seemed to come though just fine.

I'm still experimenting with roasting times and temperatures. Best results so far: soak for a few minutes in a strong salt water solution, drain, spread out in a single layer in a baking pan, sprinkle with black pepper, then 25 minutes in a 250-degree oven, jiggling them around a few times along the way for even heating. A bit soft when they come out of the oven, nice and crunchy once they cool. I wouldn't say that they are BETTER than the dry-roasted I buy at the store, but just as good at a lower price, with minimal hassle. I'll probably order the 5-pound next time.

These arrived in two 1 lb bags exactly as advertised, and quite a bit cheaper than I would pay from the local grocer. I'm not hung up on nutritional info; I can find it with the google if I cared.

I cannot believe how fresh they are! My usual experience buying macadamia nuts involves too dry nuts with a slight bitter/nearly rancid taste because local brick and mortar stores just don't rotate stock fast enough. These are unbelievably fresh, almost all of them survived shipping whole, and they are tasty and perfect for my application for making Christmas confections to give to loved ones. I would highly recommend this store to a friend if they were looking for fresh whole macs.

This review is from: Macadamias - Whole 2 lbs. (32 oz.) (Misc.)

I received the 2 lb bag of Macadamias very quickly. The quality and freshness of the nuts are good, however they are very small and came mostly in halves. I ordered from another vendor in the past and those nuts were twice the size of these and most of them were whole.
