With the advancement of plant-based milks, it feels like nuts are currently going through a golden age (what a time to be alive!), but there always seems to be one nut in particular that gets the health spotlight.
A while ago it was walnuts, said to help reduce the risk of heart disease, and then it was ALMONDS and their versatility for baking. Right now, largely due to the hype around Dubai’s chocolate, it’s PISTACHIO.
At the start of this game, the theme left me blank and after finding half a dozen non-game related words, I followed a clue to start – PECAN, which was quickly followed by the spangram and then a simple hunt for nuts.
Today’s research featured many of the major players in the nut world, but FIBERT was new to me; here in the UK as we only know them as hazelnuts and a key ingredient in the world’s best food product, Nutella.
