A Kiwi classic, with a modern upgrade to suit the more health-conscious ginger crunch fans! I’ve been making ginger crunch from the Edmonds Cookbook since I was a little girl in my Nanna’s kitchen. Over the years, I’ve tweaked and modified the recipe and versions thereof, to come up with something with a little more protein, a lot more texture, and a much better-suited rendition for those who are gluten-intolerant or just prefer to stay away from gluten for other health reasons. This slightly warming slice (thanks to the ginger) pairs perfectly in Autumn with a fresh lemon tea (or your classic Gumboot if you are keeping things traditional!), any time of day. Enjoy!

Health Bite: Pistachio nuts are a great source of vitamins and minerals, including; Manganese, phosphorous, potassium, copper and Vitamin B6. They are a good source of protein and although high in fat like many nuts, they mostly contain monounsaturated fats (the heart-healthy kind). We heart pistachios!
