Description

Dehydrated nuts mix is a combination of different nuts that have undergone a dehydration process to remove their water content, thus preserving their flavor, texture, and nutritional properties for longer. This mix can include a variety of ingredients such as walnuts, almonds, hazelnuts, pistachios, cashews, along with dried fruits like raisins, cranberries, dates, or apricots.

The origin of the dehydration technique dates back to ancient culinary traditions in various cultures around the world, which used this practice to preserve food for long periods, facilitating its storage and transport. Currently, the dehydrated nuts mix is very popular in healthy cooking and in the preparation of snacks, desserts, breads, and salads.

Among its main properties, its high concentration of nutrients stands out, such as healthy fats (omega 3 and 6), proteins, fiber, vitamins (especially vitamin E and some B vitamins), and essential minerals like magnesium, potassium, and zinc. Furthermore, being dehydrated, they have a long shelf life and are easy to incorporate into sweet or savory recipes, providing a crunchy texture and an intense flavor.

In different Hispanic American countries, this mix may have various synonyms or related terms, such as:

  • Nuts mix
  • Nut mix
  • Dehydrated fruits mix
  • Nuts and dried fruits mix

This ingredient is ideal for enriching granola recipes, artisanal breads, fresh salads, cakes, and even for consumption as an energy snack. Its versatility makes it a staple in many kitchens.
