Fig & Nuts Bites

Some recipes are more than a list of ingredients. Think about family recipes that are passed down through generations. They are almost like little time capsules, carrying memories, stories and the taste of home that only you would know.

For Mandavi, our creative force behind Bruijn India, one such recipe that comes to mind is her father’s delicious anjeer laddoos. Growing up in the Gulf, Lohri (a mid-winter harvest festival) was a way for her family to stay connected to their Indian roots. Every year, her father would bring out his much-loved ‘kadaai’ and ‘kadchi’ that he carried all the way from India, and make his special laddoos with ripe dry figs, plump raisins, toasted mixed nuts, ghee and shakar.

This special recipe came with many memories attached. Naturally, when Bruijn began, it was among the very first products we ever made. Today, those laddoos have transformed into our Fig & Nut Bites, one of Bruijn’s bestsellers. A generous mix of roasted mixed nuts, enveloped in a rich, grainy fig paste, each bite is handmade with natural ingredients and just a touch of raw sugar.

Perhaps that is the reason they have become such a beloved part of our hampers and gifts - whether you are looking for a housewarming gift or a birthday present, they have the inherent tendency to bring a smile to anyone's face.

For us, they are more than just a bestselling item in our catalogue. They are a childhood memory, a family tradition, a festive celebration that became a part of Bruijn’s DNA.
