What to look for in Nut Mixes?
What to look for in Nut Mixes?
- 01Aflatoxin from mould is the main safety risk in nuts and groundnuts. It is invisible, survives cooking, and is the reason to buy from brands that test.
- 02Nuts and seeds go rancid because of their oil. Buy small sealed packs and store them cool and dark.
- 03Raw means no added oil or salt. The ingredient list should be just the nut or the seed.
- 04Broken, shrivelled or unevenly coloured pieces point to old stock or poor sorting.
What's inside
Four nuts with different textures make up the base of the mix.
Garlic granules and powder, oregano, dried thyme, dried basil, chilli flakes and red chilli powder.
Salt seasons the mix, and the soy powder helps the herbs cling. Soy is an allergen.
A gum from the acacia tree that holds the seasoning on the nuts.
Kala namak, which adds a light tang.
