Our lineup of nuts, seeds, dried fruits, and chocolate chips is perfect when you want a pop of flavor, whether it’s in your favorite recipe, or just a satisfying afternoon snack.</p>

<p>Sure, they’re packed with nutrients (like protein, omega-3s, vitamins, and minerals), but it’s the taste that will keep you coming back. They add crunch to salads and sweeten up cereal. Trail mixes, oatmeal cookies, cheese plates, and long car rides basically demand them. Plus, every item is organic, non-GMO, free from artificial additives and preservatives—and available for well below retail prices.</p>

<h2>Are there health benefits?</h2>
<p>Each item in our exciting new lineup has its own unique set of health benefits. For example, almonds are loaded with calcium and vitamin E. Cashews are a good source of minerals like iron and zinc. Goji berries, a true superfood, are loaded with immune-boosting beta-carotene.</p>

<h2>What makes Thrive Market’s nuts and dried fruits so special?</h2>
<p>All of our Thrive Market nuts, seeds, and dried fruits are certified organic and carefully sorted so that you get the absolute highest quality product every time you open a bag. We work closely with our suppliers to ensure that there are no artificial additives, preservatives, or anything unnecessary in any of these pristine products.</p>
