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

What to avoid
