Health Tips

1. Raisins are the original candy- nature's candy. They are one of the most nutritious dried fruits in the world. Raisins are cholesterol-free, low in sodium and totally fat-free. They provide many necessary vitamins and minerals, including iron, potassium, calcium and certain B vitamins. Raisins are a good source of fiber and rich in antioxidants. Raisins are 70% pure fructose (a natural form of sugar) which is easily digested for quick energy.

2. New research indicates that subjects can lower their cholesterol level when naturally fiber-rich sun-dried raisins are included in a Mediterranean-style diet.The new research (published in the February issue of the American Heart Association's "Circulation") studied the effects of sun-dried raisins in a diet high in fiber and low in saturated fats on adults with elevated cholesterol levels. The study revealed that subjects who followed the diet lowered their levels of LDL ("bad" cholesterol) and total cholesterol -- reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease. Over 50 percent of the adult population in the United States today suffer from elevated cholesterol levels (above 200 mg/dl).

3."We found a significant, positive correlation between consuming sun-dried raisins and a change in some colon cancer risk factors," said Gene Spiller, Ph.D., lead study author and researcher at the Health Research and Studies Center in Los Altos, California. "Eating as little as two servings of raisins resulted in beneficial changes in colon function that may help combat the estimated 130,000 new cases of colorectal cancer expected to be diagnosed this year."

“Thanks so much for the order. I have ordered several things from you in the last couple of months to make my fruitcake wedding cake. Everything has come on time and has been in excellent condition. I will certainly do all my fruit and nut ordering from you in the future. Thanks”

“Wow, what fast service! I was not able to find the Currants I needed at our local grocery stores - they are fantastic, so fresh and arrived very quickly. We enjoyed your packaging also! We are going to check out what else you have available and look forward to being a regular customer. Thank you.”

“Very happy with my nuts.com order! I made orders from 5 companies on the same day, and the nuts order made it here at least 2 days ahead of the rest!
Love love love the banana chips, currants, pepitas, and turkish figs - my favorites out of the bunch. And a big thanks for the free Valentines day gift of chocolate covered dried strawberries - they are a big hit with everyone here! I will be ordering again, soon. ”

“I ordered 27 pounds of assorted dried fruit from Nuts.com for this year's Christmas fruitcakes, and I have been blown away by the ease, speed, and quality of my order. This is good fruit at good prices, and it shipped fast and hassle-free. I'll be ordering again next year!”

“Delivered on time and great product!”

Gwyneth , Indialantic, FL December 12, 2012

“When living in England, I used to make delicious fruit cakes, and found the ingredients easy to find. However while I have been living in Florida, I have found that unless it is Christmas time, then such as currants, glazed red cherries, or glazed mixed peel are impossible to find!! My husband volunteered me to make an English-style wedding cake for our friends, and I have had a nightmare ever since finding the ingredients. Thank goodness he stumbled across Nuts Online, after spending numerous days scouring the internet. I found exactly what I wished for, and was advised they would be delivered five days later, of which they were. I could not believe the utmost freshness and quality that was contained in the packages, the best quality I have ever had. So much so, I am immediately ordering some more fruit, and I can be rest assured this is a very very reliable company to deal with. Thankyou!!”
