Nutty Club

JULY 31ST, 2009

Nutty Club

You'll never do cashews in a can again.

Master nut roaster Ayoub's has opened its first North American location where 16 glittering chandeliers light up waist-high copper urns of the freshest, tastiest, premium grade nuts you've munched on these shores.

Try plump cashews from India, perfect pistachios from Iran, and Californian almonds spiced with the company's secret blend of lime, saffron and salt.

Dried sour cherries and mulberries are available for vodka drinks, plus Persian nougat, figs, and all the accoutrements for your next cheese plate.

And if you can't decide where to start? According to the stylish young owner, sampling is “required.”

We're nuts about that.

Ayoub's Dried Fruits and Nuts, 1332 Lonsdale Ave., North Vancouver, 604-982-9682, www.ayoubsdriedfruitsandnuts.com
