Snobari Almonds (Lawz Snobari)

Lawz snobari is a type of almond known in Lebanon by the name snobari. It is found here among the raw nuts and sold by the kilo. Almonds like these are eaten as a snack, toasted in a pan or oven, or added to rice dishes, salads and Lebanese sweets. They can also be soaked and peeled, ground for baking, or blended into homemade almond milk. At Dekenet Al Nes in Baaqline, in the Chouf, you can find lawz snobari on the shelf. We are a package-free grocery store, so customers are encouraged to bring their own containers or bags and fill only the amount they need, which helps cut plastic waste and single-use packaging. Dekenet Al Nes is a solidarity initiative started by a group of young Lebanese people to make basic goods affordable.
