Chef's note
We are always on the lookout for dishes that not only taste incredible but also offer health benefits. These Keto Spiced Nuts are a perfect example. Nuts are packed with nutrients like healthy fats, protein, and fiber, which can help support heart health and provide sustained energy. The chai spices, inspired by Indian cuisine, also boast various health benefits.
For instance, ginger and cinnamon have been known to aid in digestion and help regulate blood sugar levels, while cardamom is believed to have anti-inflammatory properties.
India, a land of diverse cultures and culinary treasures, has been known for its exceptional use of spices. The use of chai spices in this recipe is a testament to that. Chai, a popular Indian beverage, is traditionally made with black tea and a blend of aromatic spices, which vary from region to region.
By incorporating these warm spices into our mixed nuts, we're bringing a taste of India into your kitchen and celebrating the rich heritage of Indian cuisine.
Fun fact: Did you know that India is the world's largest producer and consumer of spices? It's no wonder that Indian cuisine is renowned for its classic flavors and aromatic dishes.
