Starting
out as group of foodies like yourself, the Gourmet Nut team got together weekly
to exchange recipes, gossip about the latest restaurants and, of course, talk
about their love of food. One topic that often came up was the lack of high
quality, everyday gourmet snacks at affordable prices for the average person to
enjoy. And so, the Gourmet Nut brand was born!
Since
then, we have grown to provide high quality ingredients and products to the
everyday consumer looking to bring a more gourmet side to their food. We
created a line of sea salts from around the world, that are used by top chefs
throughout the country as well as everyday moms and foodies who love to cook.
We have also developed a line of gourmet spice rubs and spice blends, which can
make the most "amateur" chef cook like a pro.
When the basket from Gourmet Nut showed up at my door I got really excited! Not only did they ask me to review some delicious trail mix type of snacks for you but they sent these delicious Sea Salts! First I want to tell you about the Mixes they sent that contain all the goodies!
My favorite out of all of these options is the Nature's Mix. It has raisins, cranberries, peanuts, pineapple, papaya, almonds and cashews. The perfect amount of sweet and nutty! The dried fruit pieces are soft and go great with the crunch of the nuts. My husband's favorite of the three was the Feel Good Mix. This includes peanuts, almonds, apricots, granola, raisins and cranberries. The apricots were a little tough but the rest of the mix went well together! The granola really completes that mix. Last, we have the Soy Nut Health Mix. Inside this mix you can find soy nuts, cranberries, raisins, pumpkin seeds and almonds. I really love the amount of raisins and cranberries within this bag! The soy nuts aren't my favorite, but they pack lots of nutrients for you!
I am a big fan of Sea Salt so I was a happy girl when I unloaded my basket and found these! You can just imagine me jumping up and down clapping. Okay, maybe not... But I really do enjoy sea salt! A few of these were new options to me but I am rise above the challenge! My favorite of all five is the Himalayan Pink Salt. I paired it with some cooked carrots as a snack. It was delicious! The extra salty yet unique flavor that was added to my snack made me want to put this Pink Salt on everything!
I am loving my Gourmet Nut Gift Basket and I know you would too, so check them out online and on social media! They offer a lot more than what I've shown you today! You never know.. You may find something for your Hunny for Valentine's Day!

ReplyDeleteI have heard about Gourmet nuts on the go but I have never had them. As for pink salt, I have never heard of them. Now I am curious to try it.

What a fun basket! I am a big snacker, too. And, unfortunately, in the colder months my snacks are not as healthy.
ReplyDeleteMy salt of choice is Himalayan Pink Salt. I am not really a snacker and only eat nuts with breakfast. Thanks for sharing
