Tamari Roasted Almonds
The earthy, slightly salty flavor of these nuts is an easy way to enjoy a crunchy, healthy snack. Perfect for backpacks and lunch boxes. Roasting almonds yourself has many potential benefits to your health. First, when you control the ingredients, you tend to add far less salt. Second, the delicate fats in almonds are preserved when they are gently roasted and eaten within a few days time. Roasted almonds from the store could have been sitting there for years.
