Health Benefits
Cranberries have many health benefits such as preventing urinary tract infections, aiding in reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases, and helping slow down tumor progression. Walnuts are rich in omega-3 fats and contain higher amounts of antioxidants than most other foods. Eating walnuts may improve brain health and prevent heart disease and cancer. For endurance athletes, raisins are a great alternative for expensive sports chews and gels. They offer a quick source of much-needed carbohydrates and can help improve your performance.
Fun Facts
These 5 states are known for growing cranberries :Massachusetts, Wisconsin, New Jersey, Oregon, and Washington. Cranberries can be used as fabric dyes. Walnut trees produce, on average, 3,500 pounds of walnuts per acre and it takes about 170 days for a walnut to develop and mature on a tree. More than 4 tons of grapes is needed to provide 1 ton of raisins. Raisin colors depend on the drying process, a purplish/black raisin is sun-dried and a light to average brown raisin is mechanically dehydrated in specific drying tunnels. A golden to rich yellow raisin is mechanically dried and treated with sulfur dioxide to preserve color, and a green raisin is drained by air in adobe houses.
How to Store and Select
Storing nuts correctly is important to ensure maximum freshness and taste. Whether you buy this heart-healthy snack in a 1-pound bag or in bulk they can become rancid rapidly if not stored properly. Heat exposure will cause the oils in nuts to go bad, resulting in rancid nuts. Store your nuts in the fridge or freezer (away from onions and other strong-smelling foods), this limits the exposure to light, oxygen and heat. Use containers with air-tight seals, a glass jar or plastic containers are a good option to maintain proper moisture levels. Label the products you store with dates so you know which ones to indulge in first. Make sure to let cold nuts warm up to room temperature before opening the bag. This prevents the nuts from absorbing excess moisture. If you are planning on eating and finishing the bag within a few days just storing them in an air-tight container will be sufficient.
