Nuts and Berries

Nuts and berries are an amazing combination of fruits and nuts. Yes, you are right, the berry is a  fruit. Berries bring a tangy touch to the nutty flavour and add some extra zing to the regular nuts. Nuts and berries not only enhance the flavour of your cooking but can also replace your fried evening snacks to boost your overall health.

Even children like to have a mouthful of it because berries appeal to their sharp taste buds. The nuts and berries mix comes as a mixture of nuts like almonds, pistachios, cashews, and berries like cranberries and strawberries, with raisins and apricots to add more taste to it.

And here's a list of what each ingredient adds to the nutrition quotient.

Benefits

Roasted Almonds-Roasted almonds are tastier and crunchier. They are highly beneficial for your cardiac health. They lower the bad cholesterol i.e. low-density lipoprotein and increase the good cholesterol i.e. high-density lipoprotein. Also, almonds have antioxidants which keep the skin soft and supple.

Roasted Cashews-Roasted cashews are extra crunchy, rich in fibre, full of heart-friendly fats, and protein. They're also a good source of micronutrients like copper, magnesium, and manganese. These nutrients are important for energy production, brain functioning, and immunity.

Roasted and salted Pistachios- Roasted and salted pistachios are the USP of the mixture. Who doesn't like the salty aroma of roasted pistachios? They add colour, taste and a lot of nutrients to the mix. They are high in antioxidants and low in calories yet high in protein. Pistachios aid in the growth of healthy gut bacteria and help to maintain the health of the blood vessels.

Strawberries-Strawberries are one of the most popular berries among children. Their sour taste not only enhances the taste of the mix but brings amazing health benefits too. Strawberries are good for the whole body. They are packed with vitamins, fibre, and particularly high levels of antioxidants known as polyphones -- without any sodium, fat, or cholesterol.

Raisins- Raisins are fully packed with healthy vitamins and minerals. They are also fat-free and cholesterol-free, high in antioxidants, and an excellent source of fibre. They protect our teeth, bones, and relieve us from constipation.

Cranberry -Cranberries play a vital role in preventing the risk of urinary tract infection (UTI), especially in women. They also prevent different types of cancer. Consuming cranberries regularly improves immune function and controls blood pressure.

Apricots- Apricots are rich in vitamins. Vitamins A and E help in maintaining a healthy vision. Beta-carotene and other carotenoids reduce the risk of lens degeneration and eventually prevent cataracts.
