Storage Tips

To keep your Onion & Chive Mixed Nuts fresh and crunchy, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They can last for up to two weeks when stored properly, but we doubt they'll last that long once you start snacking on them!

If you want to extend their shelf life, consider refrigerating the nuts. Just make sure to let them come to room temperature before serving, as this will restore their delightful crunch. You can also freeze them for longer storage; just be sure to use a freezer-safe container.

Nutritional Benefits

Mixed nuts are not only delicious but also packed with nutritional benefits. They are an excellent source of healthy fats, protein, and essential vitamins and minerals.
