things people ask

• How many macadamia nuts are in a cup?
  Roughly 90-110 whole kernels, weighing about 149 g. The count varies because macadamias are graded by size — Style 1 (whole) versus Style 4 or 5 (halves and pieces) — and the smaller the piece, the tighter the cup packs. For a classic white-chocolate macadamia cookie recipe calling for 1 cup chopped, you'll get closer to 130-140 g once they're broken down.
• Can I swap macadamias for another nut cup-for-cup in baking?
  By volume, mostly yes, but the fat content shifts the dough. Macadamias run ~76% fat versus ~50% for almonds, so a cup-for-cup swap into Hawaiian-style banana bread or shortbread will yield a richer, more tender crumb. Reduce butter by a tablespoon or two if the recipe was written around a leaner nut.
• How much do I need for a raw vegan cheesecake base?
  Most raw cheesecake recipes call for 1.5 to 2 cups of soaked macadamias (225-300 g) for a standard 8-inch springform filling. Soak them 4 hours minimum, drain, then blend — the high fat content is exactly what gives raw cheesecake its dense, creamy set without dairy or coconut cream.
