Nuts have been part of a British Christmas for generations. A bowl on the side table, a handful in the stuffing, a few walnuts cracked by the fire. Our Organic Christmas Nuts Box brings six favourites together in one gift: plenty for the festive season, and plenty left over for the new year. This is what's inside, who it suits, and some of our favourite ways to use it. What's in the box The box holds six varieties of organic nuts, with 250g of each, so 1.5kg in total. Each one comes in its own resealable, fully recyclable pouch, so you can open one at a time and keep the rest fresh. Cashews. Creamy, mild and slightly sweet. The nut almost everyone likes, and the one that tends to disappear first. Almonds. Crisp and versatile. Good for snacking, and the backbone of a lot of Christmas baking. Walnuts. Rich, with a gentle bitterness that works well with cheese, fruit and dark chocolate. Hazelnuts. Sweet and toasty, especially once they've been warmed in the oven. A natural partner for chocolate. Macadamias. Buttery, rich and the most indulgent of the six. A real treat at this time of year. Brazil nuts. Large, creamy and satisfying, with a flavour all of their own. Who it's for Anyone who enjoys good food. It's a generous, practical present that will actually get eaten. Keen bakers. Six varieties in one box covers most festive recipes, from stollen and Christmas cake to biscotti and brittle. Families and households. It's a box to share, put on the table and dip into over the holidays. Vegan and vegetarian friends. The box is suitable for both, and makes an easy gift for someone who eats a plant-based diet. It's not a suitable gift for anyone with a nut allergy. The box also carries a may-contain warning for peanuts, sesame, cereals containing gluten and soya. Ways to enjoy it over Christmas Warm spiced nuts Few things make a house smell more like Christmas. Mix a few handfuls of nuts from the box with a little melted coconut oil, a spoonful of coconut sugar, a pinch of salt and some warming spices such as cinnamon, smoked paprika or a little cayenne. Roast in a moderate oven, stirring often, until golden and fragrant, then leave to cool before serving. A festive cheeseboard Walnuts and almonds are made for cheese. Scatter a few over a board with a strong cheddar, a creamy blue and some sliced apple or pear. Add a few Brazil nuts and macadamias for something a bit more unusual. Christmas baking Use the almonds and hazelnuts in biscotti, florentines and nut brittle, and the walnuts in a classic coffee and walnut cake. Chopped macadamias are lovely in white chocolate cookies. A centrepiece nut roast If you're cooking for vegetarians or vegans on Christmas Day, a nut roast is the traditional choice. Cashews, Brazil nuts and hazelnuts all work well, chopped and bound with vegetables, herbs and breadcrumbs or cooked lentils. Homemade gifts Turn part of the box into presents of your own. Spiced nuts packed into jars, chocolate-dipped almonds or a batch of brittle make thoughtful little gifts for neighbours, teachers and hosts. Simple snacking Sometimes the best way to enjoy good nuts is just as they are. Put out a bowl when friends come round, and you'll find it's one of the first things to empty. Keeping nuts fresh Store the pouches in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, heat and damp. Once a pouch is open, reseal it firmly after each use. Nuts are naturally rich in oils, so keeping them sealed and out of the warm helps them stay fresh for longer. Why organic? Every nut in the box is certified organic, grown to standards that strictly limit the use of synthetic pesticides and fertilisers. For many people, that's an important part of choosing food to give as a gift: you know exactly what you're handing over. A gift that keeps going Unlike a box of chocolates, a box of good nuts lasts well beyond Christmas Day. It sees you through the festive baking, the Boxing Day leftovers and the first few weeks of the new year. If you find a favourite, you can always top up with a larger bag: try our Organic Cashew Nuts, Organic Almonds, Organic Hazelnuts, Organic Macadamia Nuts, Organic Brazil Nuts or Organic Walnuts.

Most of us have a jar of peanut butter in the cupboard. Far fewer have tried pecan butter on pancakes, hemp seed butter in a dressing or macadamia butter spooned over roasted fruit. Our Organic Nut & Seed Butter Selection Box is a way to taste six of them side by side, and it makes a lovely present for anyone who enjoys good food. What's in the box The box holds six 200g jars from the RAWGORILLA range. Every butter is organic and stone-ground raw at a low temperature, with no added sugar, no palm oil and no stabilisers. Five are made from a single ingredient. The pumpkin seed butter has a small pinch of sea salt added. Raw Pumpkin Seed Butter. A striking deep green, with a rich, earthy flavour. It contains 28.1g of protein per 100g. Try it swirled into soup or stirred into hummus. Raw Macadamia Butter. The most indulgent jar in the box: silky, buttery and subtly sweet. Lovely over roasted plums or pears, or in no-bake desserts. Raw Pecan Butter. Mellow and gently sweet, with a toffee-like note. It's made for pancakes, porridge and French toast. Raw Sunflower Seed Butter. Smooth and gentle, with a mild, nutty flavour. Use it on toast, in smoothies, or in place of tahini in dressings. Raw Hemp Seed Butter. Green and grassy, and more savoury than sweet. With 30g of protein per 100g, it has the most protein of the six. Good in pesto, dressings and grain bowls. Raw Hazelnut Butter. Pale, creamy and delicate, with the fresh flavour of raw hazelnuts. A natural partner for dark chocolate, berries and pear. Why raw and stone-ground? Most nut butters are made from roasted nuts. Roasting brings out deep, toasty flavours, but it also changes the character of the nut. Grinding raw nuts and seeds slowly between stones at a low temperature keeps their fresher, more delicate flavour. It's one reason these butters taste so different from one another. Because there are no stabilisers, the natural oil rises to the top of the jar over time. That's normal. Just give it a good stir before you use it. Who it's for Curious cooks. If someone loves trying new ingredients, six butters in one box will keep them busy for weeks. Breakfast lovers. Toast, porridge, pancakes and smoothies all get a lot more interesting. Plant-based eaters. All six butters are suitable for vegans and vegetarians. Anyone choosing a favourite. The box is a sensible way to try the range before committing to a bigger jar. A note on allergies: three of the butters (pumpkin, sunflower and hemp) are made from seeds rather than nuts. However, all six are made in a facility that handles nuts and sesame, and the box also contains macadamia, pecan and hazelnut butters, so it isn't suitable for anyone with a nut allergy. Ways to use them over Christmas A Christmas morning toast board. Set out all six jars with warm toast, sliced fruit and a drizzle of honey, and let everyone try them. Festive porridge. Stir a spoonful of pecan or hazelnut butter into a bowl of porridge with cinnamon and a few chopped dates. Quick energy balls. Blitz dried fruit, oats and a spoonful of macadamia or hazelnut butter, then roll into balls. They make a handy snack for long walks over the holidays. A savoury dressing. Whisk hemp or sunflower seed butter with lemon juice, garlic and water for a creamy dressing over roasted winter vegetables. Boxing Day leftovers. Use pumpkin seed butter to enrich a leftover vegetable soup, or add a spoonful to a curry sauce for extra body. Easy desserts. Spoon macadamia butter over baked apples or pears, or swirl hazelnut butter through melted dark chocolate for a simple sauce. Storing the jars Keep the jars in a cool, dry place. Check each label for the best before date, and once a jar is open, use it within three months. A gift that gets used A selection box like this is a gift people actually open and enjoy. It's practical, it's a little bit special, and it might just introduce someone to a new favourite. Shop the Organic Nut & Seed Butter Selection Box
