Health benefits by ingredient:
Sesame Seeds are a very good source of manganese and copper, calcium, magnesium, iron, phosphorus, vitamin B1, zinc and dietary fiber. In addition to these important nutrients,
sesame seeds contain two unique substances: sesamin and sesamolin. Both of these substances belong to a group of special beneficial fibers called lignans, and have been shown to have a cholesterol-lowering effect in humans, and to prevent high blood pressure and increase vitamin E supplies in animals. Sesamin has also been found to protect the liver from oxidative damage.
Sunflower Seeds supply high levels of health enhancing vitamin E, magnesium and selenium.
Almonds are technically the seed of the fruit of the almond tree although we commonly refer to them as "nuts".
Almonds are high in monounsaturated fats, the same type of health-promoting fats as are found in olive oil, which have been associated with reduced risk of heart disease.
Almonds are also very high in Vitamin E and Magnesium.
Coconut is highly nutritious and rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals. It is classified as a "functional food" because it provides many health benefits beyond its nutritional content.
Coconut oil is of special interest because it possesses healing properties far beyond that of any other dietary oil and is extensively used in traditional medicine among Asian and Pacific populations.
Flax Seed is the richest plant source of omega 3 fatty acid. Benefits of
flax seed as shown in many studies include lowering total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol (the Bad cholesterol) levels. Other benefits show that
flax seed may also help lower blood triglyceride and blood pressure. It may also reduce the risk of a heart disease.
Peanut Butter contains high amounts of monounsaturated fats, niacin, Vitamin E, calcium, copper, potassium, iron, and magnesium.
Local Honey contains tiny amounts of several compounds thought to function as antioxidants, including chrysin, pinobanksin, vitamin C, catalase, and pinocembrin. The specific composition of any batch of
honey depends on the flowers available to the bees that produced the honey.
Cocoa in addition to being a known "mood elevator",
cocoa contains flavonoids which are plant pigments capable of acting as antioxidants to counteract some of the cellular damage that can lead to chronic diseases such as cancer and heart disease.
