Spiced, roasted nuts are a festive favourite 🎄. They make a healthy snack while you’re on the go, the perfect party nibble, and a thoughtful homemade gift - presented in glass jars with a festive ribbon. 🙌

Looking for more festive ways to use nuts? Try these ideas:

• Sprinkle a good handful of chopped nuts over any festive salad – try rocket with mango, feta, cherry tomatoes, and a balsamic-honey dressing 
• Toss chopped nuts through roasted veggies, like carrots and asparagus
• Put together a grazing board of nuts, cheeses, chopped nectarine, grapes, beetroot or pesto dips, crackers, and flatbread
• Incorporate chopped nuts into any festive stuffing recipe
• Use nuts in a vegetarian nut roast – a classic main using ground nuts and vegetables, seasoned with herbs and spices
• Add whole or chopped nuts to Christmas fruitcake
• Add a handful of roasted, chopped nuts to ice cream for a special dessert

Did you know? Nuts prefer the cold! ❄️

To keep nuts fresh, especially during the warmer months, store them in the fridge or freezer. That’s because heat can cause the oils in nuts to go rancid more quickly, affecting their flavour and texture.

If you don’t plan on eating nuts within a week or so, store them in an air-tight container in the fridge (where they’ll stay fresh for up to 4 months) or the freezer (for around 6 months). 🙌

Before snacking, give them a few minutes to come back to room temperature.

Tip 💡: Buy nuts in bulk to save money - and with proper storage, they’ll stay fresh much longer!
