I was a picky eater as a kid but one of the things I always enjoyed eating is nuts. I remember eating the red pistachios in the summer with my family. They were so good! Almonds have always been a favorite of mine too. I have found a new favorite brand of flavored Almonds by Sante Nuts. They make an awesome Garlic Almond that is overwhelmingly good! If your a garlic and spice lover these are perfect for you. I ate the whole bag in one day. I could not stop eating them. They contain garlic, cayenne, black pepper and a dash of pure cane sugar. The sugar makes the intense bold flavors just turned down a notch that your keep eating them and asking why are these sooooo good!
Recently I have discovered how great nuts can be on a salad. I had a salad with
candied pecans from Sante Nuts, dried cranberries, spinach, blue cheese and cherry tomatoes. Oh my was it good! The nuts add a great texture and flavor to a salad.
Sante Nuts uses all natural ingredients for their spice recipes and roast the nuts by hand in small batches. They also use a secret family technique that helps the nuts absorb less oil. Less oil means lower in fat, more crunchier, and more nuts in the package since there is less oil per ounce.
