This nut mix, made in collaboration with Ziba, features our wild mountain cumin and Herati saffron from Afghanistan with a medley of Ziba’s heirloom Gurbandi and Shakhurbai almonds, with sweet apricot kernels (resembling a small almond, they come from Bamyan and are commonly eaten in snack and nut mixes, as a good source of protein). The combination of crisp textures and warm, fragrant spice notes is delightful! The bright, floral notes of the nuts are complemented by the umami flavor of the cumin and heady, honeyed fragrance of saffron. This snack is wonderful paired with yogurt and cheese, added to salads, enjoyed with cocktails, or simply savored by the handful.
