TAMARI ROASTED ALMONDS

Almonds are the super-nut of the tree nut family, boasting a high protein, fibre, healthy fat, vitamin E and mineral content.

These almonds have been lightly oven roasted with a splash of Tamari sauce for a salty, savoury & irresistible flavour.

Most kids love dip, which is also a great way to get them to eat their veggies! This homemade hummus is delicious enjoyed with fresh veggie sticks and seeded crackers.

Make sure you choose a natural nut butter, with no added sugar, salt & oil.
