Wheat Nuts can be used to add a great crunch to tossed and pasta salads and stir fry dishes. However, in order to retain a great nutty crunch we recommend that you add Wheat Nuts to the dish immediately before serving. Over time, Wheat Nuts will absorb moisture from the surrounding ingredients and soften, losing their nutty texture.
