It's always a good idea to keep healthy options on hand, like these Za’atar Roasted Nuts, so you don’t reach for processed foods when hunger strikes. You can even keep an airtight jar of these nuts in your car instead of stopping at the local convenience store or drive through.
This nut mix is full of nutrition and very satiating from the cashews and almonds. Nuts are high in fiber, protein, and fat. Cashews are a great source of the relaxing mineral magnesium, copper contributes to healthy skin and hair, and zinc supports a healthy immune system. Almonds are a great source of antioxidants and may help lower cholesterol. They contain biotin (B7), vitamin E, and minerals like copper, manganese, phosphorus, magnesium, and more.
Za’atar, a zesty and savory Middle Eastern spice mixture, adds a unique flavor spin on this mix. It’s sure to become a new favorite snack to support your active and healthy lifestyle.
