Organic Nuts are good for you—they are cholesterol-free and contain healthy, unsaturated fats which can help lower the risk of heart disease.
Nuts also provide magnesium, which helps maintain bone structure; and chromium, which helps to ensure proper insulin function. They contain zinc for growth and wound healing, and manganese, which protects against free radicals.
All nuts are a good source of vitamin E, an important antioxidant. Like all plant foods, they are high in fiber and phytochemicals—both of which help protect against cancer and other chronic diseases.
There are many pesticides used abundantly in the production of commercial nuts. They may also be fumigated or chemically pasteurized.
Reduce your exposure to these chemicals by eating fresh, organic nuts!
