Some of my favorite brands to buy gluten free nuts and seeds from areNuts.com andAnthony's Goods (I usually order the latter on Amazon). I'm also an ambassador forFoods Alive, which offer a variety of delicious seeds and nuts, from hemp seeds to walnuts. Some of my favorites are theirorganic sunflower seeds andorganic pumpkin seeds.
