Macadamia Nuts, 4oz, Live Live & Organic
$ 15.95
Truly raw Macadamia nuts from Hawaii. Our Macadamia Nuts uses a patented cracking system (invented by Bill Whaling of Waiohinu, Hawaii) that uses a revolutionary method to crack the hard shells. Major benefits of this method are 1) fresh nuts with a high moisture content can be cracked, and 2) more whole nuts are obtained because the nuts are more resilient to the oscillation action of the cracker (The conventional method is to dry the nuts in silos, crack using compression crackers and then roast at high heat). Our process eliminates the “pre-drying” stage altogether. The nuts are then dehumidified to a moisture content of less than 1%. The drying temperature does not exceed 105F, so the enzymes are unchanged and the nuts are “raw.” Dehumidifying, as opposed to traditional roasting, produces nuts with a stable oil content and fresh taste not found in roasted macs.

Cashews, 4oz, Live Live & Organic
Sold Out
Truly raw, hand-cracked Cashews. Our contact for these cashews works directly with small-scale organic cashew growers in Indonesia to develop both ecological sustainability for their fragile volcanic soils and economic viability from this beautiful product. These cashews are handpicked from organically certified trees. The nuts are then “cracked” open with traditional knives and hand-polished to remove the thin skin protecting the kernel. The result is a raw cashew kernel so incredibly sweet, soft and white that you simply won’t believe your taste buds! This traditional hand-processing is a labor of love that has nearly disappeared around the globe. Traditional producers on average can only prepare 2 kilos (4.4 pounds) of raw kernels daily. But the flavor difference between raw and conventionally processed cashews is unmistakable. Experience the difference in taste and quality!
