things people ask

• How many grams in a tablespoon of chopped macadamias?
  About 9 g for chopped pieces, slightly less for whole because of the air gaps. That's roughly 6-8 nuts depending on size. For granola recipes that spec macadamias by the tablespoon, that gram figure assumes a rough chop — fine dice will pack closer to 11-12 g per tablespoon because the pieces nestle tighter.
• How much should I add to a yogurt parfait?
  One to two tablespoons (9-18 g) is plenty per serving. Macadamias are dense in calories and fat, so a heavier scattering tips a light breakfast into something much richer. Toast them lightly first if you want more aroma — but watch them, because the high oil content means they go from golden to scorched in under a minute.
• Are macadamias good in salad dressings?
  Whole macadamias don't dissolve into a dressing, but a tablespoon blended into a creamy vinaigrette gives body without dairy — similar to how cashews work in vegan ranch. For a salad topping, 1-2 tablespoons of chopped macadamias scattered over greens with avocado and citrus is a Hawaiian-style move that leans into their natural sweetness.
