Key ingredients 3
CashewsVery Good
Cashews are a nutrient-dense nut rich in healthy fats, protein, and essential minerals. They provide beneficial monounsaturated fats that support heart health. Additionally, cashews contain antioxidants that may help reduce inflammation.
Risks
Cashews can be allergenic for some individuals, potentially causing allergic reactions.
Benefits
Rich in monounsaturated fats, protein, and essential minerals like magnesium and zinc, supporting overall health and wellness.
Expeller pressed canola oilVery Bad
Canola oil is a seed oil high in omega-6 fatty acids, which can promote inflammation when consumed in excess. The expeller pressing method is a mechanical extraction process, but the oil still undergoes refining. Despite being a common cooking oil, it is less favorable compared to oils like olive or avocado due to its omega-6 content.
Risks
High omega-6 content may promote inflammation and imbalance omega-3 to omega-6 ratios in the diet.
Sea saltGood
Unrefined sea salt — a minimally processed, natural source of sodium and essential trace minerals, and a legitimate whole-food seasoning. Treated as a positive ingredient.
Risks
Excessive consumption of salt can lead to increased blood pressure and cardiovascular issues.
