Ziba’s Apricot Kernels are dry roasted and salted for a satisfying crunch and sweet flavor, perfect for nut-free snacking. They're harvested in Afghanistan by a company focused on supporting local small-scale farms and empowering and employing women. With gentle fruit notes and nutty, toasty undertones, these almond-like bites are high in fiber. They add texture to any cheese board—try them with Roomano Extra Aged Gouda and other bite-sized treats like Quicos de Chocolate and Murray’s Sundried Cherries.
“A nice alternative to almonds, these kernels are toasty, sweet, and lightly salted, making them a great healthy snack. Bring out their sweet flavor by enjoying them with Mitica Caramelized Walnuts.”
