Plus, they’re really versatile– get your daily nut fix in the form of a rich chocolate hazelnut spread, a bag of trail mix, savoury chickpeas, or good old fashioned peanut butter.
Organic stores and health food stores in Singapore tend to carry nut products with little fillers, added salt or sugar, or in snackable forms like granola or muesli: we’ve tracked down the best places you can get them. Start your superfood journey here!
