It is a very good idea to mix around the nuts you eat because too much of the same food can cause food intolerances. In fact, that's what inspired my latest nut spread recipes - I was overdoing the almond and brazil nut spread and tested positive to intolerances to both nuts. So meet my latest divine creation - I'm particularly excited about this one! You can buy shelled unsalted pistachio from good health food stores, some supermarkets and, in Perth, Kakulas Sisters in Fremantle. |
