They also work with savory foods such as meat, fish and poultry. A single sprinkling of nuts adds texture, crunch and lots of spark to any dish. This is one of many reason why so many people choose to keep nuts on hand when they are cooking. It's also why many people like having them around when they're looking for something for a quick, delicious and filling snack. Nuts fill the bill.

Storing nuts in bulk is an ideal way to keep nuts around. Many recipes call for the use of nuts. A person might put slivers of almonds in a chicken dish to help add needed contrast. Nuts can be used to decorate all sorts of sweets. Topping a cupcake with a careful pattern of walnuts or pecans makes it even more delicious. Ground nuts can be applied to the side of a cake to help bring in something special that makes dessert truly shine. A serving of carefully dipped chocolate covered almonds is a special treat on any otherwise ordinary day.

When storing nuts, it's important to keep certain things in mind. The first thing is to make sure the nuts are stored in airtight containers that are not near any sources of moisture. If possible, line the inside the tine in wax paper or foil to help provide an additional layer of protection against the moisture. It's also important to keep the air out so the nuts will continue to stay fresh. Consider storing nuts in the fridge to offer another way to keep keep them fresh.

Keeping nuts in bulk around makes it easy to add something unexpected to any dish. It also makes it easy to bring nuts on the go.

Anyone can reach in, grab a few handfuls of nuts and place them in a portable container. They make the perfect snack just about anywhere. Bring them for the kids on the go during a long car trip. Keep different varieties of nuts on hand. Nuts work well with many other foods when traveling. Pair them with different kinds of fruit to create personalized granola the kids will love. There's no need to bring along any special utensils. Kids and adults can gobble them up raw.

Snacking Reinvented by Graze

I love snacking on fruits and nuts.  I preferred them over  sweets (cookies, cakes, or chocolate bars).   I was excited  when Graze let me try their Nibble Box in exchange for a review.  I love Graze's Snacking Reinvented style of putting together great and healthy snack.  The portion for every  pack is just enough to satisfy your craving and fill your tummy.

The Nibble Box above was my first box which contains sour cream and onion cashews.  It also has the British barbecue with  basil baguettes, rosemary crostini, and smoked almonds and seeds.  My daughter like the Toffee Apple.  The key lime pie consists of  lime raisins, mini meringues, sponge pieces and green raisins.

The next box that I received was themed for the 4th of July, I love that they designed the top of the box the American Flag.  It has My Thai with sweet chili and soy bites.  The Nature's Immunity Nuts is my favorite, it has brazil, cashew, and pistachio nuts.  I also love this small bite sized summer berry flapjack with rustic rolled oatsflapjack with berry infused cranberries.  The garden of England has mini strawberries, apple and black currants.

So how does Graze Box works.  This is a box subscription that you can choose deliveries  by weekly or monthly or whatever period you want your snacks delivered. When I  created my account, I did not pay attention  to the period of deliveries so I got two boxes in two weeks but it's all good.  Each Nibble Box  cost $6.  The first box was free for me to try and then the second box, well, it was free too because I  cancelled my deliveries and they are so kind enough to ship it for free.  There are also a bigger package that you can choose for a different price so if you are like me who love to snack on  fruits and nuts, I highly recommend Graze, they are healthy and  so good!!!  Thanks a lot Graze!!
