Because of their high concentrations of fats, nuts have a tendency to go rancid. Heat, humidity, and light all hasten their spoilage. Be sure you shop for nuts in a store with a high turnover, especially if you buy from bulk bins. All nuts should smell sweet or “nutty.” A sharp or bitter smell indicates that the nuts may be rancid.
In general, whole nuts keep better than pieces; unprocessed nuts keep better than processed ones; nuts in the shell keep better than shelled. Keep nuts in a cool place in a sealed container for up to four months. They’ll keep in the fridge for about six months and in the freezer for up to a year.

Dry-roasted nuts are always a good choice. Avoid nuts with added oil. As always, check the labels: sometimes you’ll find added preservatives, corn syrup, or other sweeteners plus salt. No-salt nuts are ideal, but if you can’t eat nuts without salt, it’s safe to enjoy them that way; just cut down on other sources of salt in your diet.

What is a “Super Food”?

Well, the most important thing for everyone to know is that superfoods are easy to find in every local supermarket. They’re worth looking for!

These nutritional powerhouse foods are loaded with nutrients crucial to a healthy, long life.

If you can include a variety of them in your diet, everyday, we promise they will change your life!

These foods were chosen because they contain high concentrations of crucial nutrients, as well as the fact that many of them are low in calories. Foods containing these nutrients have been proven to help prevent and, in some cases, reverse the well-known effects of aging, including cardiovascular disease, Type II Diabetes, hypertension and certain cancers.

When you click on each superfood you’ll find information including a list of the primary nutrients that elevated them to superfood status.

This is not meant to be a complete list of every single nutrient that food contains, but rather, a list of the high-profile nutrients that have shown health benefits and that are present in that food in sufficient quantity to make a difference. Many of the superfoods have “Sidekicks”. These are foods that are generally in the same category as the flagship superfood and offer a similar nutrient profile.

So click around and find recipes and tips on how to incorporate these foods in your daily diet.
