1/4 cup. Figs are high in fiber, providing 20% of the Daily Value
— more dietary fiber per serving than any other common dried
or fresh fruit. Figs have the highest overall mineral content of
all common fruits. As early as 2900 BC, in early Sumerian times,
the medicinal use of figs was being stressed. Now as before, the
fig offers a power-house of nutrition, a combination of fiber, minerals
and nutrients that are unequaled in nature.

Apricots
|
APRICOTS-(HUNZA & TURKISH) dried are a particularly good source
of beta carotene, potassium, and fiber (3 grams per 10 dried apricot
halves). When purchasing dried apricots, read the label. Preservatives,
such as sulfites or sulfur- dioxide, are often used to maintain
apricots orange color. Even though sun dried apricots have a brownish
color, and might not seem as appealing, they are equally nutritious.
It is not worth consuming extra sulfites just so the apricots look
more orange.

which has been shown to reduce the risk of certain cancers. Eating
dates and drinking water is an ideal, natural way to replenish the
body’s need for potassium. In fact, weight for weight, dates
contain more potassium than do bananas. Dates contain a variety
of B-complex vitamins. A serving of dates contains 31 grams of carbohydrates,
making them a powerhouse of energy. The carbohydrates found in dates,
include about three grams of dietary fiber and about 3 grams of
naturally occurring sugars, such as sucrose, fructose, and glucose.
These carbohydrates provide quick energy and are readily assimilated
into, and used by, the body. This makes dates a perfect choice as
an energy-boosting snack. |

Almonds
|
ALMONDS are the King of nuts and belong to the same family as roses—along
with apricots, cherries, peaches and plums. High in potassium, magnesium,
phosphorus and protein. Health care professionals around the world
recommend 10 raw almonds per day because of the laetrile content.
Laetrile acts as an anti-cancer agent. Researchers found almonds
have a large variety of antioxidants similar to those found in fruit
& vegetables, tea & wine. These antioxidants are in the
skins that work together with vitamin E to promote heart health.
20 to 25 almonds contain as much calcium as 1/4 cup of milk, valuable
in preventing osteoporosis and 12% of your daily allowance of protein.
Both almond oil and almond butter are nutritious as are sprouted
almonds (just soak in water overnight) and enjoy |

Pecans
 |
PECANS Pecans are a member of the hickory family. Rich in essential
fats. Research, shows that adding just a handful of pecans to your
diet each day may help inhibit unwanted oxidation of blood lipids,
thus helping prevent heart disease. This positive effect is
in part due to the pecan’s significant content of vitamin
E – an antioxidant. Pecans contain different forms of
vitamin E, which protects blood lipids from oxidation. Oxidation
of lipids in the body – a process akin to rusting –
is detrimental to health. When the “bad” (LDL)
cholesterol becomes oxidized, it is more likely to build up and
result in clogged arteries. Research published in the Journal of
Agriculture and Food Chemistry (June 2004) found that pecans rank
highest among all nuts and are among the top category of foods to
contain the highest antioxidant capacity, meaning pecans may decrease
the risk of cancer, heart disease, and neurological diseases such
as Alzheimer’s.
