Our product range contains a wide range of Pistachio, Hazelnut, Gallnut, Peanuts and Prunes
Pistachio is the fruit of Pistacchio vera tree. It is a yellow-green coloured nut found inside a hard, naturally beiged colored shell. The shells of some pistachios are colored red (with vegetable dye), while others have been blanched until white.
Pistachios arent actually nuts. Pistachio 'nuts' are actually seeds of red or yellow plum-like fruits whose flesh is removed during processing. However, everyone calls them a nut because they look like 'nuts' and belong to the cashew family. Other things in the cashew family include sumac, mangos, and poison ivy.
Pistachio nuts have a delicate, subtle flavor that is wonderful either for eating out of hand or for flavoring both sweet and savory dishes.
| Hazelnut is also called filbert. It is the edible nut of a hazel, having a hard smooth brown shell. These nuts grow in bunch on the tree in temperate zones around the world. The fuzzy outer husk opens as the nut ripens, revealing a hard, smooth shell. |
Hazel nut is cultivated in orchards in Europe, Turkey, Iran and Caucasus. In fact, the name "hazelnut" applies to the nuts of any of the species of the genus Corylus. This hazelnut or cobnut, the kernel of the seed, is edible and used raw or roasted, or ground into a paste. The seed has a thin, dark brown skin which has a bitter flavor and is sometimes removed before cooking.
Nutritional Aspects of HazelnutHazelnuts are rich in protein and unsaturated fat. Moreover, they contain significant amounts of thiamine and vitamin B6, as well as smaller amounts of other B vitamins. Additionally, for those persons who need to restrict carbohydrates, 1/4 L. of hazelnut flour has 20 g of carbohydrates, 12 g fibre, for less than 10 net carbohydrates. Hazelnuts contain the highest concentration of folate, which reduces risk factors for cancer, heart disease, Alzheimers, neural tube defects, and depression. Hazelnuts have been deemed the most beneficial nut for heart health, containing a mix of beneficial compounds that protect against coronary disease.Hazelnuts are high in oleic acid, a monounsaturated fatty acid that helps to lower cholesterol.Hazelnuts lower blood pressure because of minerals such as calcium, magnesium, and potassiumHazelnuts contain cardioprotective arginine, an amino acid that relaxes blood vessels.
Gall-nuts are rich in resins and tannic acid and have been used in the manufacture of permanent inks (such as iron gall ink) and astringent ointments, in dyeing, and in tanning.
| Peanuts are a traditional snack all over the world. During the winter season, from November through March, all over India, one will see roadside stands - ranging from woodsheds to shiny trailers - offering peanuts. Sometimes they are hard to open with one's fingers and one must resort to using one's teeth, but according to most people, they are worth the trouble. | ||
| Usually they are eaten outside where it doesn't matter if the shells are tossed or spit on the ground. Peanuts make for a popular snack and are also used to make cooking oil and peanut butter. They are also an ingredient in many Asian dishes. | ||
| Prunes are nothing but dried plums. However, a more appropriate definition will mean that prunes are partially dried fruit of any of several varieties of the common plum, Prunus domestica. These are ideal for cooking and snacking. | ||
| Although any plum can be made into a prune, those with the greatest flavor, sweetness and firmness are best suited for that use. Commercial dehydration has replaced sun-drying as the primary method of producing prunes. Though the best prunes are found in the fall, they're available year-round and come in various sizes (small, medium, large, extra large and jumbo). | ||
