Berries
Berries of all kinds are rich in antioxidants — substances found in certain foods that help fight cell damage and prevent chronic disease.
Blueberries are known for their powerful antioxidant properties, primarily due to high levels of anthocyanins. They support brain health, improve memory, and help reduce the risk of age-related cognitive decline. Blueberries provide essential vitamins like vitamin C, vitamin K and manganese which help contribute to healthy skin, bones, and immune function.
Haskap berries (or honeyberries) are an emerging superfood rich in polyphenols, offering strong antioxidant benefits greater than blueberries. They help reduce inflammation, improve cardiovascular health, and support overall cellular health. Additionally, they contain vitamins vitamin C and A, calcium,magnesium, zinc and copper. Haskup berries are very high in anthocyanins and have anti diabetes and anti cancer properties.
Raspberries are high in dietary fiber, helping with digestion and maintaining a healthy gut. They are rich in vitamin C and phytoestrogen which are good for immunity, reducing signs of aging and promoting healthy skin. Additionally, raspberries are packed with antioxidants, such as ellagic acid, which may reduce inflammation and protect against chronic diseases like heart disease and cancer.
Strawberries are loaded with vitamin C, which enhances immunity and promotes radiant skin. They also provide manganese and folate, supporting bone health and reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease. Strawberries are rich in polyphenols, which act as powerful antioxidants to protect against oxidative stress and inflammation.
Nuts and Seeds
These nuts and seeds offer a variety of health benefits, making them versatile ingredients in both sweet and savory recipes.
We use mostly cashews in our cakes for thier creamy deliciousness. Cashews are rich in healthy fats, protein, and essential minerals like magnesium and zinc. They support heart health and improve digestion.
Pumpkin seeds are high in iron, zinc, and magnesium. Pumpkin seeds support healthy digestion and prostate health. They also provide heart-healthy omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids.
Sunflower seeds are a great source of vitamin E, magnesium, and selenium. Sunflower seeds improve skin health, and provide a good balance of healthy fats and protein for sustained energy.
Tiger nuts are not actually nuts but small tubers that grow underground. They are rich in fiber, prebiotics, and healthy fats. Tiger nuts support digestive health, boost energy, and provide essential nutrients like iron and magnesium for overall well-being.
