NUTS

Add Image

Nuts are hard-shelled fruits, which contain seeds that don’t open on their own when they mature. For our purposes, here, NUTS ARE ALL HARD-SHELLED FRUIT:

ALMONDS, WALNUTS, PECANS, BRAZILS, MACADAMIAS, COCONUTS (deserving of they’re own space), etc…

NUT SEASON extends throughout SUMMER and FALL. Once harvested, nuts become dry. However, they do retain their vital nutrients. So, we can EAT THEM YEAR-ROUND!!!

Nuts are superb sources of PROTEIN, FIBER, VITAMIN E, IRON, ESSENTIAL FATTY ACIDS and POLYUNSATURATED FATS (healthy fat).

*FYI: It’s my personal feeling, that they’re also a great source of VITAMIN D, because they receive it directly from the sun, then store it. I think this is true about many other fruits and veggies, as well. (Even though modern science says the only source for vitamin D is cow’s milk and the sun..LOL~ more on that later.)

*FYI 2: Vitamin & Mineral Naming really peeves me, too!! (A, D, E, Potassium, Iron, etc…) Only do it for the sake of making a point within a common context..SMH.

~Back to Nuts~

The NATURAL OILS nuts contain give SKIN ELASTICITY, GLOW and SOFTNESS; for the HAIR, they provide SHEEN and STRENGTH.

~I LOVE ALL KINDS of NUTS~ ^ _ ^

I make really DELICIOUS RAW and VEGAN dishes with them too!!

EAT LOTS OF NUTS!! Your Body Will Thank You!!!


~Health Is Wealth~
