New snack to try

The daisygreenmagazine.co.uk team have just been introduced to something new; apricot kernels by Tropical Wholefoods.

The kernels in an apricot are something you don’t see unless you are looking for them. They lie beneath the skin and the juicy flesh. Break into the stone and voila. You’ll find one of nature’s treasures – a delicious, nutritious treat.

They come in three flavours: natural, chilli roast and tamari soya roast.

The kernels are small, almond-shaped and taste like almonds with hints of amaretto. They are rich in mono and polyunsaturated fats and fibre and are widely eaten by the famously long-lived mountain people of northern Pakistan. 

Because they are Fairtrade certified and a by product, they’re ethical as well as extremely good for you.
