These Tamari roasted nuts and seeds are a fantastic kids’ lunchbox snack! They are also great tossed through fresh salads or stir-fry’s and make a perfect addition to grazing platters at your next summer get-together.
We always recommend soaking your nuts and seeds, as this makes their nutrients more available for the body to absorb, not to mention it makes them crunchy and delicious! As a general rule, soak nuts for 8 hours or overnight, and 4 hours for seeds.

Keep an eye on the colour of the nuts, they should just be golden brown. Be careful not to burn them. This can happen quite quickly.
