Superfood Snacks

What's in the range

This collection brings together the products people most often reach for as snacks and toppings. There are nuts (almonds, Brazil nuts, cashews, hazelnuts, macadamias, pecan halves, pine nuts and walnut halves), dried fruit (goji berries and sun-dried mulberries), cacao (whole beans and nibs), plus Organic Spanish Bee Pollen and Premium Pine Pollen Powder for sprinkling and blending.

Building a trail mix

A good trail mix combines something creamy, something chewy and something crunchy. Try cashews or macadamias for richness, mulberries or goji berries for sweet-tart chewiness, and cacao nibs or hazelnuts for bite. A simple starting point is two parts nuts to one part dried fruit, with a small handful of nibs. Pecans and walnuts add a toasty, slightly bitter note, while pine nuts bring a delicate, buttery flavour. Brazil nuts are large and creamy, so chop them roughly if you want them spread through the mix.

More ways to snack

• Snack balls: blitz nuts with mulberries or dates, roll into bite-sized balls and coat in cacao nibs or desiccated coconut.
• Toppings: scatter nibs, goji berries or bee pollen over yoghurt, porridge and smoothie bowls.
• Toasted nuts: roast almonds or hazelnuts at around 160°C for 8 to 12 minutes until fragrant, then let them cool.
• Salads: add walnuts, pine nuts or pecans to salads and grain bowls for crunch.
• Pine pollen: this fine yellow powder from the cones of pine trees is usually stirred into smoothies, juices or yoghurt.
• Cacao beans: peel off the papery skin and nibble them like a very dark, bitter chocolate.

Storing and sizes

Nuts are naturally oily and can turn rancid if left warm or open to the air, so keep snacks in airtight containers somewhere cool and dark. Walnuts, pecans and pine nuts are best kept in the fridge, and most nuts freeze well. Keep dried fruit sealed so it stays soft, and keep powders dry. Most products come in sizes from small packs up to larger bags, and UK orders over £50 get free delivery.
