A Guide to the Mixed Nuts in Our Gift Boxes: Macadamias, Cashews, Almonds and More

Nuts are the heart of every Snack Delight gourmet hamper. They bring crunch, richness and a feeling of generosity that sweets alone cannot. Here is a closer look at the nuts we love and why.

Macadamias: a South African success story

South Africa is one of the largest macadamia producers in the world, with orchards in Limpopo, Mpumalanga and KwaZulu-Natal. Macadamias have a buttery, creamy taste and a gentle crunch, and many people consider them the most luxurious nut of all. Finding them in a gift box always feels like a treat.

Cashews

Cashews are soft, slightly sweet and mild, which makes them a favourite for people who are not big nut fans. They are a source of magnesium and copper, and pair well with both sweet and savoury snacks.

Almonds

Almonds are crunchy and naturally a source of vitamin E and fibre. They are a great everyday snack and a lovely contrast to softer treats like dried fruit.

Brazil nuts

Brazil nuts are large, rich and creamy. They are well known as one of the richest natural sources of selenium, which is why a few are plenty.

Peanuts and raisins

Technically peanuts are legumes, not nuts, but nobody at the braai is complaining. Mixed peanuts and raisins are a classic South African snack and a great energy boost on a hike or a long drive.

Enjoying nuts as part of a balanced diet

Nuts are a satisfying snack that combines protein, healthy fats and fibre. A small handful is usually all you need, which is why they work so well alongside the sweet treats in our boxes.

Find them in our boxes

Mixed nuts feature in the White Gourmet Gift Hamper and Black Gourmet Gift Hamper, and you can add mixed nuts or peanuts and raisins to a custom box.

Our boxes contain nuts and are packed in an environment that handles nuts. They are not suitable for people with nut allergies.
