Raw Nuts

Almonds are a seed (not a nut!) grown and harvested from trees. They have many health benefits and are a great source of protein, particularly for those who follow a plant-based diet. Almonds are also full of vitamins, minerals, and fibre. They are particularly high in Vitamin E and antioxidants.

Almonds can be eaten raw as a snack on the go or toasted and then added to salads, curries, and cereal toppings.

The Brazil nut (Bertholletia excelsa) is a South American tree in the family Lecythidaceae, and it is also the name of the tree's commercially harvested edible seeds. Brazil nuts are notable for diverse content of micronutrients, especially a high amount of selenium, an essential mineral with antioxidant properties. Selenium plays an important role in reproduction, metabolism, and immune health.

Brazil nuts can be eaten raw as a snack, or chopped and added to muesli and other cereals.

Cashews are harvested from an evergreen cashew tree and the seed is typically eaten as a snack. Cashews are very versatile and high in protein, vitamins, minerals and fibre.

They can be eaten savoury or sweet, salted or raw and can even be blended into a plant-based cashew ‘cheese’. Cashews are also a great addition to sauces such as pesto.

Dessicated coconut is also a rich source of fibre, manganese and copper, as well as in phosphorus, iron, zinc and potassium.

Pecans are great added to salads, rice dishes, and covered in chocolate or caramel. They are a good nut to bake with, chopped up in a cake mix, add to flapjack or even try adding on top for decoration.

Did you know, the pistachio is a member of the cashew family?

Notably, pistachios are one of the most vitamin B6-rich foods around.

Vitamin B6 is important for several bodily functions, including blood sugar regulation and the formation of hemoglobin, a molecule that carries oxygen in red blood cells.

Pistachios are also rich in potassium, with one ounce containing more potassium than half of a large banana.

Pistachio’s make a great snack and can also be added to baking. They are particularly delicious on top of brownies!
