Hints

Nuts:

Nuts, seeds and spices can go rancid or lose their aroma and taste if stored at room temperature for too long. Therefore, it is best to freeze these products in airtight snap seal bags or containers. Simply remove the required amount just before use

Roasting:

Set a microwave oven to a medium-high setting (this will depend on your microwave). Place in a shallow bowl and microwave in 1 to 1½ minute intervals until they are golden brown or aromatic. It is important to stir the nuts etc. after each time increment.
In a dry wok or frypan over low-medium heat. The ingredients must be constantly stirred and immediately removed from the heat when ready.

Some suggestions:

Sprinkle on a poached or scrambled egg(s) or try this Breakfast Tortilla
Sprinkle on peanut butter or toasted bread with tomato slices (check our app for low FODMAP certified brands)
Sprinkle and stir through cooked rice
Sprinkle over soups, stews or casseroles
Serve in a small bowl with some olive oil and fresh low FODMAP bread as a starter or snack (cucumber slices and tomato wedges are also good with this
