What the AI looks for in Macadamia Nuts
- Salt and roast
- Unsalted for baking; dry-roasted salted only for snacking Most retail macadamias are salted, which unbalances cookie recipes.
- Pieces vs whole
- Halves and pieces for baking Whole macadamias are the premium grade and get chopped anyway.
- Rancidity
- Ivory color, buttery smell; refrigerate after opening Macadamias are the highest-fat common nut and spoil fast.
Brands that matter
- Mauna Loa: Hawaiian macadamias, mostly roasted.
What to avoid
- Chocolate- or honey-coated macadamias for baking.
- Yellowed or dark kernels.
