Notes
Pro Tips
Toast at 350°F just until fragrant—they burn quickly due to high oil content. Season immediately after roasting while still warm. Store in airtight container; high fat content means they can go rancid. A touch of vanilla salt elevates them further.
History & Origin
Though native to Australia, macadamia nuts found their true home in Hawaii, where they've been cultivated since the 1880s. They became synonymous with Hawaiian hospitality and tiki culture—the ultimate tropical luxury nut.
