"You could survive an entire lifetime of eating and drinking by purchasing only Kirkland brand items, from Kirkland Signature cheeses to the brand's sparkling waters. I've tried many Kirkland staples over the years as a loyal Costco member, and love the quality and price, so I figured I should niche down on one of Costco's somewhat random offerings: nuts - specifically, nuts that you'd pack in a lunch, eat straight from the bag, or place in a communal bowl for a big game day."
"They are dry roasted to give them a light crunch, while the salt introduces a savory quality. There's too much salt, though, as it leaves a powdery, salty residue in your fingers - after just a couple of nuts. I found that some were nicely crunchy, but others were soft; it felt like a strange textural mismatch. Additionally, these don't give off much of a snack-like vibe for the majority of people."
Nine Kirkland snack nuts were selected and ranked by flavor, texture, personal preference, and likely popularity at gatherings. The selection included plain unroasted and unsalted options, slightly seasoned varieties, and mixed nut sets to evaluate snackability. Kirkland dry roasted macadamia nuts with sea salt provide a light crunch and a buttery, creamy flavor but carry a liberal saltiness that leaves a powdery residue on fingers. The bag shows textural inconsistency with some nuts crunchy and others soft, reducing their appeal as a communal party snack.
