Nutritional Information
Nuts are good for you. This has been established by the myriads of studies that have been done over the last three decades. A large-scale, 30-year long study found that people who regularly ate one ounce of nuts at least seven times per week were 20 percent less likely to die for any reason, compared to those who avoided nuts in their diet. Much more is being studied, including whether the body absorbs the calories of nuts like it does other foods. (For what it's worth, we eat nuts every day, and we maintain our weight!) The oils in nuts have tremendous benefits for your heart and internal organs, as well as for your skin and hair. One of our most nutritious nut blends is our Nature's Bounty, which contains seven kinds of raw tree nuts. Our Energy Mix is also a popular blend of unsalted nuts, seeds, and raisins.
