An ingredient with history
In the Mediterranean diet, dried fruits are much more than a simple try. Since Antigua Greece, our abuelas have been in the field, almonds, piñones, hazelnuts and nueces have been part of sweet and salad dishes, in the soil for their flavor, but also for their nutritional value and their natural conservation capacity.
These small natural treasures were a luxury in times of scarcity, and today they maintain this air of special food, which adds texture, energy and aroma to any recipe.
Taste and health by the hand
Mediterranean cuisine is famous for combining flavor and health, and dried fruits are not the exception. They provide healthy fats, vegetable proteins, fiber and antioxidants, all of which are essential for general well-being. Furthermore, its versatility allows you to include them in dishes, main meals, dishes and salsas without just a little effort.
In traditional dishes such as Andalusian ajoblanco (with almonds), Catalan romesco salsa (with hazelnuts), or Arabic sweets with pistachio, dried fruits are authentic protagonists.
