Known for its plant-based coffee whiteners, hydration products, beverage-enhancing supplements, roasted and instant coffees, teas and hot chocolate, Laird Superfood is now in the snack business with the debut of Pili Nuts. Grown on trees in the nutrient-rich volcanic soil of the Philippines, pili nuts are naturally high in fat, positioning them as a long-lasting energizing and fuel-up snack.
The nuts are wild harvested, sprouted in purified mountain water and slow dried to preserve their delicate, buttery flavor. They come in three flavors. For chocolate lovers, the cacao offering is dusted with a coating of organic Ecuadorian cacao and organic coconut flower sugar. The Himalayan pink salt variety is for salty snack aficionados. The matcha variety uses organic Kyoto matcha made from the tender young leaf tips of shade-grown tea plants cultivated in central Japan. The matcha has a naturally sweet taste with a vibrant green color.
The nuts get a little extra sweetness from the addition of organic coconut flower sugar. One serving of all varieties contains about 18g of protein and is a good source of magnesium and vitamin E. The suggested price is $11.95 for a pack of three 1-oz. pouches.
