Living Nutz

I was flying home on an airplane and a very kind lady sitting next to me offered me to try some of the I Love Vegan Cheesy Nuts brand. DELICIOUS! So delicious that I came home and went to a couple of specialty organic grocery stores and Whole Foods to purchase a bag or two and none of them carried them. So I ordered online. I talked to one of their associates, Davie, and he was so nice to work with and helped me make sure my order made it to me. The product is fantastic — a tad pricey, but worth the spend since you know you’re getting something healthy and «homegrown». I hope it makes it way back into the grocery stores in St. Louis, MO!

The best-​tasting nuts you will ever put in your mouth, bar none. Even if you’re not a raw-​foodie, you can totally appreciate how awesome these nuts are; the taste, the texture, the varieties are all amazing.
Why raw nuts? Here’s the quick and dirty on germinated nuts and seeds if you didn’t know already, (I got this from the website):
«Countless nutritionists and living foods experts have all stressed that it is ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL to germinate (soak) all nuts and seeds for at least 12 hours before consuming them.
Germination is a process where all the vitamins, minerals, proteins and essential fatty acids (EFAs) that are dormant in nuts and seeds begin to activate and multiply. Germination also eliminates certain toxins and acids within the dormant nuts and seeds that would interfere with digestion.
After the germination, we add all organic live food ingredients to the nuts and dehydrate them at low temperatures for up to five days. This preserves all the nutrition within the product and creates optimum flavor and digestibility. This is different than roasting nuts which is much quicker, but destroys vital enzymes and minerals These products are the perfect bridge for those looking to eat more healthy foods or switch to an all ‘raw’ diet without compromising taste.»
These aren’t just the best tasting healthy or raw nuts out there in my opinion, they are the best tasting PERIOD. They have delicious varieties. My favorites are: Sweet Chili Almonds (encrusted in sweet chili awesomeness), Spicy Onion-​Garlic Pistachios (for a spicy bold take on my favorite nut), Cina-​Pecan Bun (great for a dessert or snack) and the Vegan Cheezy Almonds (cause I love cheese powder, ALOT). Alas, they don’t have a store location where you can sample these, so if you want to get some, you must order off the Internet here:

The main drawback is the price, but they are truly, high-​quality gourmet nuts. They are pricey (try $ 6.99 for 4oz) and you don’t get a large amount. If I was a rich girl, you bet I’d be snacking on a bag of these (or should I say, deez?) everyday.
