Healthy Grazing Hamper

Six things to pick at, for people who graze rather than snack.

Grazing is its own way of eating — a handful here, a spoonful there, something on the side of a coffee. It does not suit a single big bag of one thing. It wants variety, and it wants everything within reach.

This hamper is built for that: six full-size packs spanning nuts, seeds, dried fruit and a jar of nut butter, so there is always something to reach for and never the same thing twice.

What’s in the hamper

• Raw Organic Pecan Butter, RAWGORILLA — 200g. Organic pecans, cold stone-ground at low temperature and nothing else. Mellow, toffee-ish and spoonable, with just 4.3g carbohydrate per 100g. The one item here you eat with a spoon.
• Deluxe Mixed Nuts. Cashews, almonds, brazils, hazelnuts, walnuts and peanuts at an honest 16.67% each — no peanut-heavy filler ratio. Raw and unsalted, 18g protein per 100g.
• Organic Dried Mango Slices. Chewy, intensely sweet, no added sugar. From Burkina Faso.
• Goji Berries — 250g. Sun-dried wolfberries from Ningxia, the Chinese region they are known for. Sweet-tart and chewy, like a raisin with a tangy edge.
• Natural Whole Apricots — 250g. Turkish apricots, hand-pitted and slowly sun-dried rather than sulphur-treated — which is why they are dark brown instead of bright orange, and why they taste of caramel rather than just sweetness.
• Organic Omega Seed Mix — 250g. Pumpkin, sunflower, flax and sesame seeds. The one you scatter over everything else.

Why it works

Variety is the point. Six different textures and flavours, sweet through savoury. Grazing gets dull fast on one ingredient.

It builds a board. Put the nuts, apricots, mango and goji into small bowls with the pecan butter alongside and you have a grazing plate in two minutes — no cooking, no shopping.

It keeps. All store-cupboard items with long shelf lives, so it does not have to be eaten in a week.

Nothing in it is a mystery. Nuts, seeds, fruit and ground pecans. The longest ingredients list here has six items, and they are all nuts.

Ways to use it

Pecan butter on toast, pancakes or stirred into porridge — it is a natural with maple. Seed mix over yoghurt, salads or bread dough. Goji berries steeped in hot water with ginger, or scattered on a smoothie bowl. Apricots chopped into a tagine. Mango straight from the bag, or baked into flapjacks. Nuts by the handful, or as the base of your own trail mix with the mango and goji folded through.

Storage

Store everything in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, heat and damp. The pouches are resealable; reseal after opening or transfer to airtight containers. Stir the pecan butter before use — there are no stabilisers, so the oil separates naturally. Use the pecan butter within 3 months of opening.

Frequently asked questions

What is in the Healthy Grazing Hamper?

Six full-size packs: Raw Organic Pecan Butter 200g, Deluxe Mixed Nuts, Organic Dried Mango Slices, Goji Berries 250g, Natural Whole Apricots 250g and Organic Omega Seed Mix 250g.

Is everything organic?

Three of the six are: the pecan butter, the mango slices and the omega seed mix. The mixed nuts, goji berries and apricots are not certified organic.

Does it contain nuts?

Yes, and a lot of them — pecans in the nut butter, and peanuts, hazelnuts, cashews, brazils, almonds and walnuts in the mixed nuts. The seed mix also contains sesame.

Is it suitable for vegans?

Yes, all six items are suitable for vegan and vegetarian diets.

Why are the apricots brown rather than orange?

Because they have not been treated with sulphur. They are hand-pitted and slowly sun-dried, which darkens them and gives them a richer, caramel flavour.

How should I store it?

Everything in a cool, dry place out of sunlight. The pouches reseal; the pecan butter needs stirring before use and keeps for 3 months once opened.
