NUT CRAVINGS - Raw Macadamia Nuts, Unsalted, Shelled, (8oz - 1 Pack) Bulk Nuts Packed Fresh in Resealable Bag - Kosher Healthy Snack, Natural Keto Vegan -

I love macadamia nuts, but I've only seen smaller quantities in stores, so I purchased this larger package. They tasted fresh and were of good quality, with an acceptable price point.

I was about to add a different brand of macadamia nuts (3 lb bag) to my cart and then saw this 3 lb bag and thought this one looked better (or maybe read something that seemed better about it) - whatever the reason, I bought these. They arrived, the bag has an "easy open" tab to pull which should rip off the top leaving the bag open and with a Ziploc type of seal, which is a great idea, but when I ripped the tab it messed up and opened the bag in a weird way which left the nuts exposed. But that's a minor issue - I was going to just dump them into a Ziploc bag. BUT - I could smell a bad smell, then I tasted them, and they were RANCID!!! They smell (and taste) like the floor of a garage, with like an almost oily/gasoline type smell! PLUS - I didn't expect all whole nuts, but almost all of it is halves and pieces, and not only that, but halves and pieces of SMALL nuts, not larger ones that seem to be normal from other brands. I just bought the other brand that I was originally going to buy and they just arrived and they are almost all whole nuts, taste great, clean, bag opened fine, etc. Of all the problems with this product I could have lived with ANY of them EXCEPT THAT THESE ARE NOT EVEN EDIBLE!!! AND AMAZON WON'T LET ME RETURN THESE EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE "PRIME"!!! TERRIBLE!!! After this review I'm complaining to Amazon's customer service immediately!!!!

The macadamia nuts are well- packaged. They are of uniform size, fresh, clean and unblemished and have a wonderful flavor. I appreciated being able to buy a larger package - good value for the money.

I've bought several of these bags to use as mixes with blueberries and walnuts instead of the Blueprint mixes. In a mix they're fine. By themselves they taste a bit stale, but I can't say that they are, just that the unseasoned flavor to me tastes oxidized/stale. Very crunchy, decent quality, and a good value for the money.

These are excellent nuts!

Large, fresh, crunchy, tasty nuts. So well packed!

ProsThey are actually 5 lbs (the weight you buy)They are raw as it statesThey taste like woody sort ofThey are crunchyI like the color of the bag and logoConsThey are halves not wholeThey are very tiny compared to the picture description and to what macadamia nuts should look likeThe bag is really annoying, it is supposed to maintain freshness but I had to tape it all around so air doesn’t escape out or go inWon’t expire until one year

These were all small halve pieces which i could deal with. The description shows large whole macadamia nuts. I didn't get those. Why I'm giving such a bad review is when i opened the bag a horrible smell of wet cardboard and rancid nuts hit me in my face. It was gross. Imo it had been sitting in a wet card board box and or in a hot wearhouse and the nuts became rancid I was given a refund.
