Millions of packs of nuts are snacked on each year, especially in pubs. But most brands are packed in plastic, and usually contain palm oil.
Cracking Nuts is likely the best brand, made from hand-roasted selections of nuts on the North Devon coast, then packed in zero waste cardboard boxes and tins. They are also free from palm oil.
Keep nuts away from young children and pets (and don’t give to garden birds or wildfowl, due to choking hazards and salt). Read more on food safety for people & pets.
These nuts are sold in recycled card tubs, wrapped in eco kraft paper and tape, and tied with paper ribbon (you can recycle the cellophane wrapping that keeps them fresh, at supermarket bag bins, if your kerbside does not recycle).
These nuts are vegan-friendly and some are gluten-free. The gift box includes peanuts, almonds, cashews and pecans (and may contain traces of other nuts). The range includes:
- Salted Mixed Nuts (a combination roasted in Cornish sea salt and pink rock salt)
- Cinnamon & Vanilla Cashews (crunchy outside, and creamy in the middle). These are delicately seasoned with cinnamon and responsibly-sourced vanilla.
- Smoked Hickory Almonds (roasted with natural flavour, for a savoury taste that’s great with beer)
- Sweet-Chilli & Lime Peanuts (one nut is never enough with this combination)
- Sweet Roasted Nuts (a combo of peanuts, cashews, almonds and pecans). Try warmed with vegan ice-cream.
- Rosemary-Spiced Mixed Nuts (delicately spiced cashews, almonds & peanuts with a hint of herbs). A classic New York bar snack.
- Chilli Peanuts (roasted with Devon-grown Carolina Reaper infused oil)
- Naked Nuts (simply roasted and unsalted organic hazelnuts, cashews & almonds)
You can also buy these glass jars of nuts, then just order cardboard packs for refills.
