Product Description

Native to lush, subtropical inland regions, Macadamia Nuts are widely considered to be among the world's most recognizable and sought-after culinary delicacies. Since first being cultivated in the mid-18s, Macadamia Nuts have been cherished for their distinct flavor, exquisite texture, and generous nutrient profile. Macadamia Nuts are a wonderful source of nutrition. Their protein and dietary fiber content, coupled with a rich source of monounsaturated fats, make them one of our planet's most perfect food sources. Additionally, Macadamia Nuts contain impressive amounts of monounsaturated fatty acids, and are one of the few known sources of palmitoleic acid - a beneficial omega-9 fatty acid. NOW Macadamia Nuts are dry roasted to perfection and lightly salted to enhance their delectable taste.

These were a really great deal on Amazon so I decided to try this brand of Macadamia nuts. Macadamia's are hard to find in NY besides the classic Mauna Loa Dry Roasted Macadamias with Sea Salt, 12-Ounce Bags (Pack of 3). In fact, we had a bag of the Mauna Loa and a bag of the NOW Foods nuts and compared them side to side. Although I like the idea of sea salt on the Mauna Loa Macadamia nuts, I found that the Mauna Loa nuts were roasted too much and were darker and smokier flavored. Perhaps it is a matter of preference but I liked these NOW Foods much better than the more commercial nuts. Price and quantity aside they just seemed much fresher, better textured and better tasting. They lacked that smoky flavor from over-roasting. These nuts were lighter in color, large and succulent. That flaky, delicious Macadamia nut texture was there in all it's glory.

I love them and will be buying more. Perfectly fresh and delivered fresh (I put them straight in the refrigerator to keep them that way given the heat lately).

My kids have never eaten these. We have peanut allergy, and it is difficult to locate tree nuts that are not processed with peanuts. I checked NOW Foods website, it indicates they do not process any peanuts in any of their facilities. The company recognizes the extreme allergy risk and does not handle peanuts. WHO-HOO!!!!

I must say best macs I have ever eaten! Ok, it has been over 3 years since we could have them in our home. My kids love eating them. First bites were greated with smiles and asking me for more.

Expensive, but worth it since they are peanut free. I made brownies with macs in them last weekend. Super tasty.


Of course, check before you buy about current peanut processing.

Now macadamia Nuts are delicious. If you haven't tried them bfore, they are worth waiting for. Amazon doesn't always have them available, but when they do, order them quickly. You won't regret it.
