Split Kernel
Split macadamia kernels are halves or large pieces that still read as macadamia rather than meal. They distribute evenly through cookies, ice cream, and crusts and toast a little faster because of extra surface area. Flavour matches good whole stock when fresh—sweet, buttery, soft-crunch. Packers route splits and chips into baking grades when perfect style wholes command gift prices. Use splits when even distribution matters more than perfect spheres. Still inspect for shell grit and discard paint-scented pieces. Higher surface area means faster staling—keep cool. Excellent roasting stock for salted snacks because salt clings to open faces. Grind into butter without guilt; shape was already secondary.
