SO much better than floor nuts | $0.50 (0.60oz)

The Romans called walnuts Juglans regia, “Jupiter’s royal acorn.” Walnuts have been discovered in prehistoric deposits in Europe dating from the Iron Age. Remains of husked, well-preserved, unbroken walnuts were unearthed in the ruins of Pompeii, the ill-fated city instantly petrified in the cataclysmic eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in 79 A.D.

Interest in walnuts and health started in the 16th and 17th centuries. Eating walnuts was thought to boost the intellect and soothe emotions because of its striking resemblance to the brain and heart, depending on the way the walnuts were cracked. Today, cutting edge health research is proving many of these beliefs are true!

Walnuts are identified as one of 14 “SuperFoods” because of their high omega-3 content, a distinction that makes walnuts unique among nuts.

Little nut, BIG flavor | $0.50 (0.75oz)

A lovely, delicately-flavored nut, the hazelnut is also known as the filbert. The Greek physician Dioscorides emphasized the properties of the filbert: "It cures chronic coughing if pounded filbert is eaten with honey. Cooked filbert mixed with black pepper cures the cold. If the ointment produced by mashing burnt filbert shells in suet is smeared on the head where hair does not grow due to normal baldness or to some disease, hair will come again."

An irresistible taste of the Amazon | $0.60 (0.80oz)

One of our few non-local ingredients, brazil nuts lend an exotic taste to any cereal mix. Because Brazil nut trees produce fruit almost exclusively in pristine rainforests, supporting brazil nut production means helping to preserve these important ecosystems. The trees grow very slowly, taking as long as 10 to 30 years before producing nuts, and they require a specific species of bee to pollinate the flowers. Brazil nuts are especially rich in selenium, a powerful antioxidant.

Edible commas to help you slow down and enjoy the moment | $0.80 (0.80oz)

Cashews have a velvety, rich texture that seems to say, “I’m fattening!” Not so.

Not only do cashews have a lower fat content than most other nuts, approximately 75% of their fat is unsaturated fatty acids, plus about 75% of this unsaturated fatty acid content is oleic acid, the same heart-healthy monounsaturated fat found in olive oil. Studies show that oleic acid promotes good cardiovascular health, even in individuals with diabetes. Furthermore, studies show that increased cashew consumption can lead to weight loss! Cashews are a very good source of monounsaturated fats and copper, and a good source of magnesium and phosphorus.

Rich and tropical. Coconut, take me away! | $0.30 (0.50oz)

Pacific Islanders consider coconut oil to be the cure for all illness. The coconut palm is so highly valued by them as both a source of food and medicine that it is called "The Tree of Life."
