Like nuts? If so you're in for a treat! My new favorite nuts are Santé nuts. I haven't had fresh, quality nuts like Santé's since I lived down South. I initially thought I might use one of their recipes from the site since I had four different flavors to try but decided they were too good! I had to eat them just as they are.
I waited to serve ours up for Football Sunday. Everyone tried them and I left the bags near hubs along with some salsa and chips. Next thing I know he'd demolished the whole bag of candied walnuts! That's how good they are. We also tried the garlic almonds which isn't a nut that I eat that often but these were exceptionally tasty with just a bit of zing.
My personal favorite was the pecans; regular roasted (salted and savory) and candied (sweet, buttery and light). I can't describe how good these are other than you'll have a soft, crunch, tasty, and fantastic treat with every bite. My grandparents had a pecan tree when I was growing up so I know what good pecans taste like! I was even more intrigued by the Santé story of how it all began.
A single mom started Santé nuts out of her own kitchen sometimes sleeping by the oven. Now her company has taken flight! Sara Tidhar (the founder) applies a hand roasting technique she learned from her grandmother that is still used today plus she hand picks her growers. I think that's what really makes her nuts stand out from all the rest!
