made my kitchen smell awful after airing them in a tray for a couple of hours

Flavor3%−0.01

Great texture, flavour maybe slightly less good

However, the flavour isn't as good as I expect from macadamias; despite the wonderful texture, there's something not quite fresh about the flavour, and I have come across a few rancid ones. usually easy to spot before tasting because of the off colour
