Mixed Nuts

Mixed nuts are a blend of shelled nut kernels, ready to eat without cracking. They are a familiar part of Lebanese hospitality, set out in bowls for guests, family gatherings and evenings at home. Beyond snacking, a handful can be scattered over rice dishes, salads or yogurt, chopped into baked goods and desserts, or added to breakfast bowls. At Dekenet Al Nes in Baaqline, in the Chouf, mixed nuts are sold loose by the kilo, so you can take just the amount you need. Dekenet Al Nes is a package-free grocery shop and solidarity initiative started by a group of young Lebanese people after the 2019 economic crisis. Customers are encouraged to bring their own jars, bags or containers to fill, helping cut down on plastic and single-use packaging.
