Sainsbury's Unsalted Mixed Nuts and Raisins
What it is
This is a blend of various nuts and dried grapes. The nuts are typically almonds, walnuts, and cashews, chosen for their distinct textures and flavors. The raisins add a natural sweetness and chewiness to the mix. It is prepared without added salt, allowing the inherent tastes of the ingredients to be the focus. This combination offers a balance of savory and sweet elements.

You can eat this mix straight from the bag for a quick and satisfying snack. It also works well stirred into plain yogurt or as a topping for breakfast cereal and oatmeal.
