On our tour of the ingredients in
La Newyorkina artisan granola, today we are stopping off at
sultanas. A dried fruit full of properties and benefits for our health and very tasty, whether we eat it raw or use it in baking recipes.
Sultanas go perfectly with the rest of the ingredients in our Mediterranean granola and could not be missing in this masterful mix, not only for their flavour but also for how healthy they are to eat.
Drying fruit in the open air under the sun's rays goes back a long way. It is one of the oldest methods of preserving food, be it grapes, figs, plums... It was the Egyptians and the first Phoenicians who spread the popularity of eating sultanas in the West. Undoubtedly, a great discovery for our diet.
Sultanas help to eliminate toxins, thus contributing to the purification of our organism. Their high potassium content helps us to eliminate liquids and their fibre content makes sultanas one of the best allies of our intestinal health.
Potassium also helps
to reduce blood vessel tension and blood pressure.
More benefits? Sultanas are excellent
antioxidants thanks to their bioflavonoids, which protect our cells from the negative effects of free radicals.
Their high
iron and vitamin B content makes sultanas the perfect addition to the diets of those who suffer from anaemia.
Sultanas contain significant amounts of A-beta carotene vitamin A and A-carotene, essential for
good eye health.
They are also an important source of carbohydrates, i.e. energy. So they are
perfect to consume during breakfast to give your body the energy boost it needs to start the day.
As you can see, sultanas, like the other ingredients in our handmade granola, are a great source of health for the body.
When we started this adventure we had one thing clear, we wanted to produce a
high quality product that would contribute to the wellbeing of everyone who consumed it. Therefore, we take the utmost care in the production of our granola so that your body and your health notice the care we put into the whole process.
