Yumnuts Receives an A+

Tuesday, March 9th, 2010

Hey Guys!

Great product! I agree with the YUM!!!!…….you give YUM a new meaning. The nuts are light with your roasting process and the flavors subtle.

I was shopping at the Stew Leonard’s store in Newington, CT today (2/26/10) for my weekly fresh goodies and I met your representative offering samples of new YUMNUTS! I bought the Honey for my husband and the Coconut for me to take to work to much on for a satisfying, up-lifting snack between teaching my university classes. I will now be looking for your product display at Stew’s when I go back for my next shopping trip.

It was funny, I asked the gentleman if these cashews were a Bear Naked product….I’m a fan of their granola also. He told me one of you “original YUMNUTS” were associated with that company in the past. (I read your BIOS and see how you blend well together). I knew I could recognize quality again!

Well…keep up the great product line and I hope to see in the future the addition of new, exciting flavors and different nut products as you expand your horizons.

Five Foods You Should Eat Everyday

Friday, March 5th, 2010

Immediately I would like to point out that #4 - Whole Grains help to flatten your belly. Now who doesn’t want that?!

#1 Leafy greens
Medical experts call them one of nature’s miracle foods. Leafy greens like Swiss chard and kale are high in nutrients like folate and vitamins A and C that can lower your risk of cancer. Just one cup of dark, leafy greens a day could also prevent diabetes and high blood pressure.
#2 Nuts
Many nutritionists recommend nuts like almonds, cashews and walnuts because they’re high in natural fiber. Fiber slows your digestive process, keeping hunger and unhealthy mid-afternoon snacks at bay. Goodbye vending machine runs!
#3 Onions
Studies show that consuming onions on a regular basis may reduce symptoms of asthma and the risk of developing stomach cancer. Add them to soups and stir-fry, and just remember — the stronger the onion, the greater the health benefit.
#4 Whole grains
Refined grains, like white rice and pasta, have lost 90% of their nutritional value through the refining process. As if that weren’t reason enough to choose whole grains like brown rice, quinoa and whole oats, a recent study showed that a diet rich in whole grains actually flattens your belly by reducing fat storage in your lower abdominal region.
#5 Yogurt
Making yogurt part of your daily eating routine can improve your digestion — if you’re buying the right stuff. Check that the label lists “active cultures” to make sure you’re getting healthy probiotics, and pick a yogurt rich in vitamin D to prevent osteoporosis.

Nuts Included in the Top Five Holiday Foods

Tuesday, December 8th, 2009

We’re not surprised that nuts are included in the top holiday foods, are you?

Nuts: Evidence is mounting that nuts help control your weight and decrease your risk of cancer, heart disease and diabetes. Nuts and seeds are a great source of protein, fiber and monounsaturated fats, which are important for heart health. Walnuts provide essential omega-3 fatty acids, which carry numerous health benefits. Add nuts and seeds to homemade trail mix or granola, use them to zip up chicken or tuna salads, combine in baked goods or sprinkle some in your salad for a healthy crunch. Caveat: because nuts are high in calories — one ounce contains about 150 calories — a small serving goes a long way.

We suggest adding Yumnuts to everything you eat, then again we’re partial.

A Serving of Yumnuts = 4 Weight Watchers Points

Nutty
Yumnuts Naturals Slow Dry-Roasted Cashews
Whether you have a sweet tooth or you’re a salt freak, cashew-fans are going to flip over these. For the sweet-lovers among us, Yumnuts come in Toasted Coconut, Chocolate or Honey. Our salt-loving friends can chow down on Chili Lime, Sea Salt, or Spicy Cajun flavored nuts. There really is something for everyone, and they’re amazing… but eat these things in moderation. The protein, healthy fats, and nutrients in nuts are good for you, but don’t overdo it. Look for them in select markets and online.

Each 1/4 cup serving has 160 - 170 calories, 11 - 13g fat, 1 - 3g fiber, and a POINTS value of 4.
