Nuts and dried fruit are nourishing, but they are also energy-dense, so portions matter. This is the simple routine our team follows. (It is general guidance, not medical advice — if you have a specific health condition, check with your doctor.)
The one-handful rule
About 30 g of mixed nuts a day — roughly a small closed handful — is a sensible everyday amount for most adults. That is around 6 almonds, 4 cashews, 3 walnut halves and a few pistachios.
Dried fruit
Dried fruit is naturally sweet, so keep it to two or three dates, or a tablespoon of raisins or chopped figs. Our Anjeer (Dried Figs) and Golden Kishmish are easy additions to porridge.
Make it a habit
- Morning: five soaked Mamra almonds.
- Breakfast: a spoon of Orchard Breakfast Blend over oats or yoghurt.
- Afternoon: a small bowl of roasted makhana instead of biscuits.
A jar of Assorted Trail Mix on your desk makes it easy — as long as the lid goes back on after one handful.
