If you haven’t tried a pili nut yet you are missing out and these keto salted caramel nuts are to die for. A pili nut is a rich buttery tasting nut grown in the volcanic soil of the Philippine peninsula. High in protein, calcium and potassium, pili nuts are a healthy snack with a delicious flavour, perfect for keto. They also make a wonderful addition to desserts and baked goods.
In Canada I order my pili nuts from SwitchGrocery which is an amazing online store that provides great keto, paleo and diabetic friendly products.
Pili nuts are one of my favourite keto snacks and recently I decided to kick them up a few notches into a sweet morsel of keto coated deliciousness.
Yep, I used only a few ingredients to turn them into Salted Caramel pili nuts.
