Raisins

Dried fruits and nuts mixed together with your favorite spices is a satisfying combination.  I like to pan or oven roast a mixture together for a healthy snack or for adding color, texture and flavor to a rice dish, yogurt or salad. 

Note:  Nuts will last longer if you buy them raw and then roast them yourself on a per usage basis.
