 What Are Cashews?

We often think of them as nuts. But cashews are the seeds of cashew apples, which grow in trees native to Central and South America as well as several Caribbean islands.

When they're freshly picked, the shell that holds the cashew has a toxic oil that can cause blisters on your skin, like poison ivy. The shells are treated with heat, then removed to get to the nut inside. This is why cashews are never sold in the shell, and one reason they can be expensive. 

The cashew is beloved around the world because it has a rich flavor and many uses. They're popular as a snack, topping, as cashew butter, and in dairy replacements.

Cashew Benefits

Rich in protein, healthy fats, and antioxidants such as polyphenols, cashews offer several health benefits:

Reduced cholesterol

Cashews have had a bad reputation for containing saturated fat. But much of the fat in cashews comes from stearic acids, which experts think have little effect on blood cholesterol. Research suggests that people who eat a small serving of cashews every day may see a small reduction in LDL "bad" cholesterol. 

Heart disease prevention

Not only can they lower bad cholesterol, cashews may help prevent heart disease due to their high magnesium content. Getting enough magnesium may reduce your risk of ischemic heart disease, which happens when your heart doesn't get enough blood.

Stroke prevention

The magnesium in cashews may help reduce the risk of stroke. This link is thought to be strongest for hemorrhagic strokes, which happen when a weakened blood vessel ruptures and spills blood into the brain.

Diabetes prevention or management

Cashews are low in carbohydrates, especially compared to many other common snacks. This limits their impact on blood sugar, making them a good choice for people with type 2 diabetes, as well as for those looking to prevent the condition.

Cashew Nutrition

Cashews are rich in healthy fats, including monounsaturated and polyunsaturated types. They're also a good source of protein. That's one reason they're popular with many vegans and vegetarians.

Cashews are also a good source of:

• Magnesium

• Manganese

• Phosphorus

• Zinc

• Vitamin B6

• Vitamin K

Organically / Sun dried tomatoes have most of their moisture removed through a days-long drying process thus making their skin thicker, which helps to stop bacteria and microorganisms from spoiling the fruit. The drying additionally slows down the natural enzymes that make fruit turn mushy. 

Besides extending their shelf-life, organically / sun-dried tomatoes also concentrates their flavor, making them even more delicious.

Health Benefits

Organically / Sun dried tomatoes are rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. They have a particularly high concentration of lycopene, a powerful antioxidant.

There has been a lot of interest in lycopene’s potential benefits as an antioxidant. Some early research shows it may help protect your skin from the sun. Other studies show that lycopene may lower the risk of certain cancers, including esophageal and pancreatic cancer. 

When it comes to getting the biggest lycopene bang for your buck, the best option is Organically / Sun dried tomatoes. This is due to bioavailability. Bioavailability is the amount of a substance that can enter your circulation and have an active effect. Organically / Sun dried tomatoes have a higher bioavailability of lycopene than fresh or canned tomatoes.

Some other health benefits of sun dried tomatoes include:

Immune System Support

Organically / Sun dried tomatoes are packed with Vitamin C. While Vitamin C isn’t a cure for the common cold, there is good evidence that it may help prevent serious complications caused by colds. This includes complications caused by pneumonia and lung infections.

Digestive Health

One cup of Organically / Sun dried tomatoes has about 25% of the Daily Value (DV) of dietary fiber. While both soluble (dissolves in water) and insoluble (does not dissolve in water) fiber is present in sun dried tomatoes, the majority is insoluble. This makes sun dried tomatoes a good choice for helping with constipation.

Equinox International is able to supply the world-famous Şavşat honey with the companies it cooperates with.

What is Şavşat honey?

Şavşat honey is produced in the plateaus of Artvin / Turkey, which has a very rich vegetation in terms of endemic plant diversity. What makes Şavşat honey so special is the Caucasian bee races. These bees have a different structure than normal honey bees. The honey produced by these bees is very rich in terms of nutritional value. It is produced far from people and at high altitudes. As a result of a research conducted in the plateaus of Artvin and especially in Sarıçayır, 6 species and 8 families were determined in flower diversity. There are 600 flower species in each family. The products produced in a geography with such a rich and diverse vegetation are equally special. Honey, a natural source of energy and nutrition, is the only food that never spoils when stored correctly. It has countless benefits. Honey was found among the foods that were found in ancient rock cemeteries without spoiling. It has prebiotic compounds and increases cells that benefit the body. It helps reduce allergic symptoms. It is good for skin problems. It is antibacterial and a source of energy. Honey contains flavonoids that reduce the risk of cancer.
