Nuts in shell are a versatile companion for everyday life. Here are five simple ways to use them.
1. Roasted as a snack
Briefly roasted in a dry pan, nuts develop a more intense aroma – on their own or with a pinch of salt, they make a simple snack between meals.
2. In muesli or porridge
Coarsely chopped, nuts give breakfast dishes a pleasant texture and go well with oats, yoghurt or fresh fruit.
3. In savoury dishes
In a salad, over roasted vegetables or in pasta – nuts bring variety to savoury dishes.
4. In baking
In cakes, biscuits or bread – nuts can be added to all kinds of baking recipes.
5. As a gift
Arranged in a pretty jar or bowl, nuts in shell also make a simple, uncomplicated gift.
Storage
Stored cool, dry and away from light, nuts in shell stay fresh the longest.
