Nuts might not be to everyone’s taste, but they can be an integral part of a healthy diet considering they’re an excellent source of plant-based protein, omega-3, healthy fats, calcium, fiber, and much more. So how can you introduce more of them into your diet if you’re not a fan? Here are a few simple tricks to get you easting more nuts.
Use Nuts As Seasoning
Mix up a seasoning mix of crushed pecans with various combinations of spices and herbs. First, coat your meat, fish, or plant dishes that you want to season with olive oil, lemon juice, or melted butter. Then, add the seasoning mix and cook!
Add To A Curry
Crushed hazelnuts or walnuts are a great addition to a curry. They add a little extra texture and complementary flavor, but they don’t have that nutty taste to them.
Delicious Deserts
Using nuts in deserts tends to mask their taste under the sweet flavors of the other ingredients. Use them in ice creams, cookies, or simply drizzle dark chocolate over them.
Stir-Fries
Just before serving your stir-fry, add a sprinkle of walnuts to the dish. You’ll find that it complements the other flavors without tasting like itself.
