PROPERTIES AND BENEFITS
This box is not only inviting to the palate, but is also an unsuspected source of beneficial properties for the body. These dried and dehydrated fruits, in fact, behind their tasty appearance, and their reputation for being super caloric, hide unimaginable qualities. Don't believe it? Now we present them to you.
FIGS
Maybe you don't know, but dried figs are a food that you can indulge in without much guilt, even if you follow a diet. In addition to being delicious, dried figs also have many beneficial properties for our body. Being rich in fiber, they help to reduce the glycemic index of the fruit itself.
In addition, dried figs provide a good dose of vitamin A and B1 and mineral salts such as potassium, calcium, phosphorus and iron essential for those who do sports, or for women who suffer from bone weakening or lack of iron.
DEHYDRATED APRICOTS
The dehydrated apricot concentrates inside all the essence of the fresh fruit. Like figs, dried apricots are also rich in fiber and contain minerals such as potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, iron and calcium.
Let's imagine that you too, as soon as the summer season approaches, start eating orange fruits and vegetables, including apricots. Well, do well! In fact, in addition to stimulating the production of melanin and intensifying the tan, vitamins A and C and antioxidants slow down the aging process of the skin. So they are a natural cure both to have an enviable tan, and against the side effects of the sun on the skin.
DATES MEDJOUL JUMBO
These dates are of medjoul variety, considered among the most valuable ever. They are large in size (class A), pulpy, intense burnished color, characteristic aroma, soft texture and strong and enveloping flavor. They are neither treated nor molasses and are particularly appreciated in both sweet and savory preparations.
The benefits of dates are manifold.
Energizers
Dates have energizing and reintegrating properties of mineral salts, are therefore recommended for those who practice sports, for children and for those who have a very active life in general. Thanks to their natural sugars, they give energy and bring benefits to people who tend to be constantly underweight.
Benefits to the Nervous System
They are very rich in potassium, even more than bananas, and for this reason they help to balance the level of fluids in the body and in addition bring benefits to the functioning of the nervous system. For this reason, dates bring benefits in the nutrition of the elderly, whose nervous system tends to weaken as age.
Cardiovascular Health
The high potassium content reduces the risk of stroke, heart attack and other heart problems. Regularly consuming dates can in fact help to significantly lower the level of bad cholesterol and, thanks to the presence of magnesium, to regulate high blood pressure.
Strengthen bones
The presence of numerous mineral salts makes dates an ally to fight painful and debilitating diseases such as osteoporosis.
Against intestinal disorders
Integrating this fruit into our diet means facilitating the culture of "friendly" bacteria of the intestine. Dates also contain insoluble and soluble fiber, as well as many amino acids that can stimulate and make digestion more efficient.
DEHYDRATED PINEAPPLE
Compared to fresh fruit, dehydrated fruit loses water and concentrates fiber, sugars and minerals, thus becoming a nutritious, satiating and not excessively caloric snack. To obtain this product, fresh pineapple is peeled, cut and dehydrated by hot air.
This fruit also retains incredible properties, useful for the proper functioning of the nervous system, for muscle contraction, fat metabolism and the construction of the skeleton.
Pineapple is also recommended for the treatment of acne and inflammation of the skin and scalp thanks to the presence of vitamin C.
