Tips
Great ideas for purchasing, storing, and consuming macadamia nuts.
- Roasted macadamia nuts are typically found in grocery stores. Raw macadamia nuts are not as common but can still be found at some farmers' markets.
- Make sure to store these nuts in a cool, dry place in an airtight container away from light and heat sources. They should stay good for about a year if you do this.
- For more flavor, roast raw(fresh) macadamia nuts lightly in a pan over medium heat until they just begin to turn golden brown (about 5 minutes). This will help them release their oils and bring out more flavor when you consume them!
- Macadamia nuts taste great fresh—just toss some onto salads or into a trail mix! But if you want to cook with them, toss them into stir-fries or add them as a garnish atop soups or stews.
- For an awesome snack, combine macadamia nuts with raisins. The taste is similar to a buttermilk biscuit with jelly, but in a way healthier form.
