How to Choose Quality Macadamia Nuts?
Since macadamia nuts have a high natural oil content, freshness matters more than with most other nuts. Look for kernels that are uniformly cream-coloured and feel slightly heavy for their size — a light, hollow feel or any rancid smell means the oils have started to break down. Because of their high fat content, buying smaller quantities more frequently is often better than bulk buying for long-term storage.
