Whenever I go to the supermarket, I make sure to go into the
bulk food aisle for several reasons – one of which is to stock up on raw,
organic nuts. I’m going to let you in on
a little secret- if you didn’t know already – nuts are a nutritional power
snack. There have been numerous debates back and forth over the benefits of raw
organic nuts vs. their roasted counterparts.
I can tell you that I prefer getting raw organic nuts just because they
have more nutrients. Not to mention, I
roast my own nuts and add my own herbs and spices to them.
Quick Tip: When
roasting nuts make sure the temperature of your oven is under 240°. Ideally the temperature should be at
160°. This temperature setting will
prevent acrylamides
(chemicals that form when some foods are heated at a high temperature) from
forming.
Raw nuts will always get the EP stamp of approval!!!
