SECOND NATURE, CALIFORNIA MEDLEY, GENTLY ROASTED UNSALTED NUTS AND DRIED FRUITS

Almonds are a nutrient-dense nut rich in healthy fats, protein, and fiber. They provide essential vitamins and minerals such as vitamin E and magnesium. The roasting process enhances flavor but may slightly reduce antioxidant levels.

Pistachio kernels are a good source of protein, healthy fats, and fiber. They contain antioxidants and essential nutrients like vitamin B6 and potassium. The dry roasting process preserves their nutritional value while enhancing flavor.

Raisins are dried grapes that provide natural sugars and some fiber. They are a source of antioxidants and micronutrients like potassium. However, their high sugar content can contribute to calorie intake if consumed in excess.

Dried cranberries often contain added sugar, which increases their calorie content and reduces their nutritional value. The addition of sunflower oil is unnecessary and adds unhealthy fats. While cranberries are naturally rich in antioxidants, the processing diminishes these benefits.

Peanut oil is a seed oil high in omega-6 fatty acids, which can promote inflammation when consumed in excess. It is often refined, which can strip away beneficial nutrients. The use of peanut oil in roasting adds unnecessary unhealthy fats to the product.

Cottonseed oil is a highly processed seed oil with a high omega-6 fatty acid content, which can contribute to inflammation. It is often refined and may contain residues from pesticides used in cotton farming. The use of cottonseed oil in food products is generally discouraged due to these health concerns.
