Israelis and Middle Easterners are known for their love of nuts, and you can ease their cravings a bit with this elegant looking fruit basket. With five types of nuts circling various dried fruit, this food basket is a sure winner.
The different kinds of nuts include watermelon seeds, pistachios, pumpkin seeds, cashews and peanuts, weighing about one hundred and fifty grams each (approximately 5.3 ounces), while the dried fruit are neatly lined up in the center of the circle and consist of dried apricots, raisins and prunes, weighing about two hundred grams (approximately 7 ounces) each.
Though none of the above fruits are from the seven species of the land of Israel (namely wheat, barley, grapes, pomegranate, date, olive and fig), there is a special quality for anything grown there. Once thought to have been barren of good crops, Israel now grows a wealth of different fruits like no others and its produce is known worldwide, ranging from dates to oranges. The wine made in wineries spread around the country, such as Gush Etzion, Yatir and the Galilee, are famous, too.
