Since the dawn of global trade, cultures have gotten closer. One of the first exports of this expanding culture was the exchange of dates from the Middle East! Middle Eastern countries have dates as part of their culture, but the small fibrous fruit is loved almost everywhere in the world. They are sweet, chewy, healthy, and a very good ingredient for desserts. It is also a natural sweetener and goes well with smoothies and shakes. It is also used in nutritional bars, bakery products, and other commercially made desserts.
People everywhere in the world like dried fruits and nuts of all types. These nutritionally powerful delicacies are enjoyed in households around the world. The most common items under the “dry fruits” category include most nuts like cashews, pistachios, almonds, walnuts, etc. The other sub-category is dehydrated fresh fruits like dried apricots, plums, prunes, and the most famous of them all, dried grapes, a.k.a. raisins.
Ice cream is a global love language more than it is a food item. Something about the frozen fat goodness is so good that it melts away anxiety and migraine instantly. We all love ice cream, no matter what part of the world we’re from. But something that doesn’t occur to any of us is that it is extremely easy to make at home! Yes! Ice cream you can make at home will have the option to customize it according to your taste buds! And moreover, there are only 2 primary ingredients that you will need, with the option of branching out into many more flavours you want.
Dry fruits and dried fruits are loosely interchangeable terms. But the fact remains; they are two different things with different characteristics and uses. You will notice that both nuts and dehydrated fruits count as dry fruits in the normal lingo. So broadly, you could categorize dry fruits as dehiscent or indehiscent. Dehiscent refers to those dry fruits found inside a seedpod and indehiscent means the dry fruits not found inside a seedpod. These dry fruits include cashews, walnuts, almonds, pistachios, and every other nut that you can think of.
The more we learn about our bodies and health, the more we understand the value of taking care of all aspects of it. One benefits the other, and when one system isn’t doing well, it affects others. Today we’re talking about our structural integrity, which is given to us through our bones and skeletal system. Our ones hold everything together and bear the weight of our entire body. For an overall healthy body, it is very important to have strong bones.
