Sure, basic trail mix can taste good. But if it’s loaded with candy, it also comes with lots of sugar, sodium, and saturated fats.
Treat your taste buds to a healthier delight! Persian trail mix, or ajil, is a tasty combo of salty and sweet flavors. It also keeps for a long time, so a large batch will last a good while.
