They’re ideal ingredients of a healthy diet, but how can you most enjoy nuts, seeds and fruit? The experts from Grape Tree explain
What are the health benefits of nuts, seeds and fruit?
Nuts, seeds and fruit are high in fibre and rich in vitamins and minerals such as iron, magnesium, vitamin E, C, B vitamins and amino acids. These all help with digestion, building collagen, energy, sleep, mood, a healthy heart and good blood flow. They are anti-inflammatories and antioxidants which protect the body from radical damage and certain cancers. Nuts and seeds also contain omega-3, excellent for strong, glossy hair, hydrated skin and reducing mild acne.
What would Grape Tree describe as ‘cupboard essentials’?
Cupboard essentials are food items with a long shelf life that you can store. They’re usually products you use repeatedly to make the ‘base’ of meals—for example, grains like quinoa, cous cous and lentils or types of seasoning, such as chilli powder or dried basil. We also have energy-fueling cereals like muesli and oats. For bakers, there are a variety of flour alternatives, and we stock nourishing drinks such as herbal teas, spring water and kombucha.
What snacks and treats are available from Grape Tree?
We know how important it is to have snacks when you’re feeling peckish. Check out our nuts and seeds for slow-releasing energy and dried fruit to take on the go. For a light, low-calorie option, try popcorn or crispy, fibre-packed crackers. We’ve included classic vintage sweets, like cinder toffee and liquorice, and sugar-free, vegan, nut-free and gluten-free options. If you want to indulge, opt for Clotted Cream Fudge or Rose and Lemon Turkish Delight.
