I would just eat them. In fact, they would probably be gone by now.

I'd feed them to squirrels slowly over time so the vegetable oil doesn't harm them too much.

ditch em. chock it up.

Just a thought - maybe rinse in warm water and wipe thoroughly with a paper towel. It seems like the oil would mainly be on the exterior.

I lived for over thirty years on SAD (or variations of it). I am eating a very healthy diet now. And I am on a very tight budget. I would eat a few and see if my stomach reacts... I can't afford throwing away things that are not completely off. I would use the idea about soaking or something like that, to make sure it has the least possible, and then eat, relaxed. I wouldn't buy them first... but if they are here, I don't like to be extreme. It's not like they are coated in flour or so (I do have 0% tolerance for gluten policy).

oh, and I buy my macademias from Amazon, raw in big 2Ibs bag and roast them myself. Delicious. Unfortunately it looks like the price went up. Really A LOT.

If you decide not to eat them, maybe you could bring that unopened bag into your workplace kitchen. It would be gone in a flash (at least at my workplace). Or, you could donate it to a food pantry -- often there's a bin for donations at a local major grocery store.

Another option for the open bag, offer it to a non paleo friend, particularly one who bakes, I think they would be happy to take it off your hands.

I'd eat and move on. Unless you've got allergy issues with the oil, one bag's not going to kill you. Unless you're independently wealthy and can toss food left and right.

Well, if you can't toss them or return them, then I guess you have two options: keep them and eat them or give them away. Or perhaps keep them for SAD eating guests? I doubt they are salvageable in any way. Probably not what you wanted to hear!

I'd still eat them; the soaking idea sounds good! I get Mauna Loa dry roasted macadamias at BJs- I think they're $8 a pound, and have no oil.

If your anything like me, trying to eat them will cause second guessing, doubt etc.. I would probably toss, chalk it up to a learning experience.

You can feed them to your pet hamster; that's what my daughter always did - along with fresh spinach and expensive cheese (yeah, I'm surprised she lived, too).

I wouldn't dare put those in my mouth. The mere thought of that material entering my gut would cause enough regret, anger, and disappointment that it would create a cortisol response systemically. A terrible cascade of events just by consuming a few nuts.

Raw, unsalted, unroasted are what you're searching for.

That being said trash it is. You shall learn from this experience despite the "pain".

Worrying about this any more is probably going to increase your risk of stroke more than it will help your health through nutrition. I suggest you save them and eat them on the rare cheat/treat days that you may have. As a general observation that may not apply to you, stressing about things may be much worse for you than eating "junk" once in a while.
