Nuts 5 Nuts Recipe Tips

  • Use fresh nuts – For the best flavor and crunch, choose fresh, high-quality nuts.
  • Toast for extra flavor – Lightly toast the nuts in the oven or air fryer to bring out their natural oils and enhance taste.
  • Customize your mix – Swap or add nuts and seeds like sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, or macadamias to suit your preference.
  • Add spices or sweeteners – Cinnamon, smoked paprika, or a drizzle of honey/maple syrup can elevate the flavor.
  • Cool completely before storing – Allow toasted nuts to cool fully to maintain crispiness before transferring to an airtight container.
  • Store properly – Keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks, or refrigerate for longer freshness.

Storing Instructions

Store your 5 Nuts mix in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks to maintain freshness and crunch. For longer storage, keep the nuts in the refrigerator or freezer, which can extend their shelf life to several months while preserving flavor.
