Nut Cravings – Freshly Roasted & Salted California Pistachios (32oz – 2 LB) Packed Fresh in Resealable Bag – Nut Snack – Healthy Protein Food, All Natural, Keto Friendly, Vegan, Kosher

This is the second time I have purchased these corn nuts. They are pretty good.

These nuts are the perfect size and saltiness. Not too salty but enough salt to enhance the flavor. I use a small handful along with some blueberries to liven up my Noosa yogurt for breakfast.

One star maximum. What a waste of good money. I grew up Hawaii for 12 of my 71years and the rest of those were in Southern California. I KNOW what good roasted and salted Macadamia nuts taste like. My best friend had a macadamia orchard in Carlsbad, where we were allowed to pick up the fallen nuts on the ground much like they do with walnuts and take home a big bag of nuts, all we had to do was bust ’em open without blowing up the nut inside. Those were the good old days so I have to source them online now. Macadamia nuts once properly roasted will have a delightfully delicate crunch and explode into hundreds of smaller bits, almost dissolving in your mouth. If you have ever had the chance to try Royal Hawaiian macadamia nuts you will know what I am talking about. These nuts were NONE of those. I cut open the sealed bag and peered inside,…what I saw shocked me. The nuts were WET! I checked the bag if I was sent the right nuts, it was right, unfortunately. The nuts had a wet, oily appearance and a distinctly yellowish color, many were very dark brown. They were very hard to chew, they were also VERY small nuts, the smallest I have ever seen to be truthfull. My personal opinion is that they were overcooked and possibly packaged while still hot sealing in any moisture, until I got them. I tried two different nuts, same problems. I checked the package to see where they were packed,…Monroe, New York. Huh?? There ain’t NO macadamia nut orchards in NY! If there are, these are a poor example of properly roasted macadmias. Do not buy these nuts. I’m going to contact them before I complain to Amazon, this is not a shipping problem. In this same order, I also got shelled walnuts and pecans, those were fine,…so you figure it out. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

Glad I purchased these, I was a little hesitant because some of the reviews mentioned that theirs were mushy. Happy to report mine are crunchy and delicious. Rarely I’ll come across a few that have been roasted a little longer, these are by far my favorite; they’re very golden in color throughout, extra crunchy, and have an amazing brown butter taste (I’m secretly wishing Nut Cravings will put out a bag of just these). My only minor complaint is that they could use a little more salt, but I am a salt fiend so that might just be me.

Perfect nuts. Good value for the money.
