Small Mixed Kernels

Small mixed kernels are a blend of shelled nut kernels in a smaller size, sold loose by the kilo in the nuts section. Because the shells are already removed, they can be eaten as a snack on their own or served in a bowl when guests visit. They are also commonly used in the kitchen: sprinkled over rice and meat dishes, added to baked goods and desserts, scattered over salads and breakfast bowls, or mixed into homemade granola. At Dekenet Al Nes, a package-free grocery store in Baaqline, in the Chouf, you can find small mixed kernels on the shelf and take the amount you need. Customers are encouraged to bring their own jars, bags or containers to refill, which helps cut plastic waste and single-use packaging.
