Why you should eat more nuts

Here is part of an article I found interesting and thought I would pass it on.

 

Many nutritionists believe nuts are healthy. Nuts have no cholesterol, they contain mono-unsaturated and/or polyunsaturated fats, are rich in fiber, and contain vitamin E. Eating nuts, therefore, may help prevent heart disease. Other benefits of nut consumption include:

• Hazelnuts reportedly boost the immune system and fight fatigue,
• Peanuts are recommended for memory and help reduce high blood pressure,
• Almonds are a good source of calcium to fight osteoporosis,
• Pecans aid bone strength and help keep nerves and muscles healthy, and
 
• Macadamias are beneficial to the nervous system and skin.

Happy August 1st!

We are in the final month of Summer for most of you.  I hope you have been able to do a lot of great things with family and friends.  With it being the first day of August I have some great news.  This Friday we will be introducing SWEET CORN to our booth. I know this is the time of year most of you wait for.  This corn will be picked on Thursday and then brought in from Bliss, Idaho for those of you who will be wondering.  

We'll keep you posted on any other things that will be coming to the market this week.  Have a great Monday and we'll see you Friday!
