A non exhaustive list of my favourite nuts and seeds for when I’m feeling snacky.
By far my fave nut. A fatty flavour, high in selenium, and mildly radioactive…. I can’t get enough.
ORGANIC BRAZIL NUTS | Yupik
A crunchy pop on salad, oatmeal, and more. Also good for the prostrate, I’ve heard…. From my MIL, so…. I should probably fact check that one.
Pumpkin Seed | Walmart Canada
I appreciate the small packages offered by Walmart of their nuts. Pecans are one of my go to choices because they offer a bit of a sweet taste and a mildly crunchy texture.

A little bit bitter and tannic, I enjoy a good handful of walnuts a couple times a week.

A family fave at my home, we have eaten out way through several 2k jars of Great Value peanut butter. With good flavour, and relatively low in sugar, we all enjoy this as a staple in our pantry.
Great Value Smooth Peanut Butter, 2 kg
I don’t really know why, but sliced almonds feel fancy to me. Carefully toasted (seriously, don’t turn away from the pan, they will burn before you can blink) they offer a little glam to green beans and the equivalent of sequins to the top of a cake.
Great Value Sliced Almonds, 16 oz
Hear me out… vanilla ice cream with a sprinkle of cinnamon, a drizzle of honey, topped with a handful of sunflower seeds. Delicious!

A good source of protein, with a mild flavour, these can be added to nearly any dish you can think of.
Natural Hemp Hearts
Were these everyone’s dad’s fav or was it just mine? He always kept the cashews for last when he ate mixed nuts.

Peanuts with a roast flavour, chocolate, crunch candy coating… a delightful treat!
Available in dark (my husband’s fave) and milk chocolate (my favourite), these chocolate covered almonds are a bit pricy so I save them for a special occasion.

So smoky, so salty, so savoury, so goood!
Hickory Smoked Almonds
Tahini is a bit of a special ingredient, at least for me. I love the richness it can add to a sauce.

Perfect for crusting a tuna steak and then drizzling with some honey. This recipe is confirmed to impress a date.

You know it, you love it. A nostalgic healthy snack, with a hint of chocolate.
