Thai Yum Spiced Nuts Recipe

Thai Yum Spiced Nuts Recipe

On my recent trip to Thailand I discovered one of my favourite snacks ever! Tom yam cashew nuts! Tom yam is classically a delicious, flavourful soup which I love but struggle to eat in the 35 degree heat so when I saw it in a nut snack I was delighted! Nuts are such a great healthy snack for us to be enjoying but can get little boring sometimes which is why my Thai Yum Spiced Nuts Recipe is going to have you struggling to put the jar away!

Cashews

Cashew nuts are a creamy nut filled with minerals. In the past the cashew has had some bad rep as they contain fat, making people think that it will make them gain weight. There is a difference between good fat and bad fat, the cashew has good fat. Good fats are essential to give your body energy to support cell growth, feed and protect the brain. Did you know that our brains are composed of 60 percent fat!! Cashews also help protect your organs and help keep your body warm. Fats help your body absorb some nutrients and produce important hormones, too. Your body definitely needs fat.
