Fresh, good quality nuts and snacks
High-quality nuts. I have ordered from Nuts.com for years because their nuts, dried fruit and snacks are always delicious.

Ready-to-go snack
This is a great, ready to go snack. I have ordered from nuts.com before, but I love that I can now grab something from here when I don’t need a large order. Sometimes it is nice to have individually portioned snack options on hand that are easy to toss in a bag. This is definitely a good one for that. Each bag contains 1.5 oz serving size, which seems quite satisfying and does not leave me wanting more. These packs are marked as 50% less salt, which is great for health reasons. The best part about that is that they do not taste under-salted. I can be picky about that when it comes to nuts, but I do not notice this as a problem at all when I eat these. These nuts taste great and I can feel good about eating them. I don’t have anything against peanuts, but I hate how much they dominate mixed nut packs, so I am very happy that these do not contain any peanuts at all. You can easily add the appropriate amount if you feel they are needed. I am a bit confused about which nutrition label to look at. There is a label on the entire pack and a label on each individual bag, which appear to be for the same item and the same serving size, but the nutrition facts do not match. It isn’t close either. For example, there is a difference between 253 calories (per individual pack) and 182 calories (per box label). Everything listed on the individual packs is higher, except the sodium, which is quite a bit lower (66 vs 164). Fortunately, I don’t have any specific restrictions, so I can be flexible, but if you are closely watching something this could be an issue. Aside from that lack of clarity, I am very happy with these snack packs and will certainly consider purchasing them again in the future.

Satisfying Portions of Crunchy, Delicious, Perfectly Salted & Roasted Nuts
I usually avoid individually wrapped snack portions as they often fail to satisfy and create lots of waste. These Nuts.com Roasted Mixed Nuts with 50% Less Salt are an exception. Containing a pleasant mixture of roasted top-shelf nuts: almonds, pecans, Brazil nuts, hazelnuts, and cashews, the 1.5 oz (43 g) portions are evenly dusted with a ‘flour salt’, adding only 86mg (3% DV) of sodium per serving. Sealed in an easily-opened plastic packet, the nuts are optimally crunchy and taste very fresh with the perfect amount of salt.Taste and Portioning:Nuts are a nutritious, satisfying snack, and I always have large bags of raw, unsalted almonds, walnuts, or Brazil nuts in the fridge. I eschew ‘snack packs’, ‘sensible portions’, and the like because they’re often more expensive and rarely satisfy hunger cravings. This also helps to avoid salted varieties and their associated sodium, but these advertised 50% less salt than other salted nuts and contained all my favorite nuts, so I decided to give them a try.The first pack I opened had a very good mix of nuts. They were pleasantly salty without being overly so, and when I finished the 1.5 oz bag I felt that I had eaten enough nuts. This is rare for me as I’m usually still craving more after consuming a typical serving size, but the 8g of protein per serving these provide explains my satisfaction. All subsequent bags yielded similar results. They’re crunchy, tasty, and the portion size is definitely satisfying. The perfect salting is achieved by dusting the nuts in a fine salt powder, called ‘flour salt’ in the ingredient list. The greater coverage afforded by the larger surface area of this powder makes less salt necessary, cutting sodium significantly but maintaining taste. For healthy peace of mind, the only ingredients are nuts, peanut oil, and flour salt, and they’re made in the US. Preferring nuts and fruit for breakfast, these were easy to grab and go for eating in the car, or just for snacking at work. They’re also perfect for bridging the hunger gap between coming home from my cooking job and re-mustering enough energy to cook dinner.While I like peanuts, I’m usually disappointed with nut mixes that contain a preponderance of peanuts as filler, so I was delighted that this mix was unadulterated by them. A couple of packs may have had one or two varieties over-represented (I’m looking at you, cashew), but overall the servings were very consistent. There are a few less Brazil nuts than I would like to see, but I’m biased because these are my absolute favorite. Cashews are my least-favorite, but I actually enjoyed them in this context.Verdict:These Roasted Mixed Nuts are a healthy, convenient snack option that leave you satisfied. Each 1.5 oz serving pack contains a perfect balance of quality nuts, and the fine salt coating adds the perfect amount of salting without high sodium levels. They’re very handy to grab and go, contain a perfect serving portion, and are just plain tasty.Pros: Delicious; satisfying, convenient, consistent portions; lower sodium than other salted nuts.Cons: Fewer Brazil nuts than I would have liked, but this is just personal preference and not a legitimate con.
