Nuts to you - for a healthier diet Hungry for a quick snack? Nuts are tasty, convenient, and healthy. Their fiber and unsaturated fats can help lower LDL (“bad cholesterol”) levels, and they contain omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin E, both good for the heart. Just choose wisely. Although all nuts have health benefits, they’re best eaten raw or dry-roasted, not covered with chocolate, salt, or sugar. Here’s the breakdown on some of the most popular nuts (roasted, serving size 1 ounce): • Almonds: 169 calories; 15 grams of fat (1.1 grams saturated vs. 12.9 grams unsaturated) • Cashews: 163 calories; 13.1 grams of fat (2.6 g vs. 10 g) • Macadamia Nuts: 204 calories; 21.6 grams of fat (3.4 g vs. 17.2 g) • Peanuts: 166 calories; 14 grams of fat (2 g vs. 11.4 g) • Pistachios: 161 calories; 12.7 grams of fat (1.6 g vs. 10.4 g) Need some fun fall and holiday theme ideas?

STORAGE TIPS… And Other Fun Facts APPLES: Must be kept ice cold. Taking apples from cold storage to warm and back to cold will cause condensation, which will break down the wax on the surface, turning the wax into a whitish film. By the way…Was the apple really the Forbidden Fruit in the Garden of Eden? Adam and Eve were naked, and apples ripen and color during cold Autumn nights. Some anthropologists believe it was actually the Mango. GRAPES: Should never be stored next to Green Onions. Grapes will absorb the Green Onion flavor. By the way… Grapes are one of the “Mission Fruits” in California, first taken to California by the Spanish monks, like Father Junipero Serra. TOMATOES: Should not be refrigerated. These are sub-tropical fruits and do not like the cold. Cold temperatures kill the flavor, stop the ripening and break down the molecular cell structure, causing the fruit to soften. Fully ripened fruit can be refrigerated, but not more than 48 hours. By the way…Tomatoes were once thought to kill you. In the 1600s, most service ware was made out of pewter. The acid from the tomato mixed with the metals in the pewter and would become toxic. Thomas Jefferson would walk around the streets of Philadelphia eating a tomato, proving that they wouldn’t kill you. ORANGES: Should be kept in the warmest part of your walk-in, and should be kept away from high humidity items, which can cause the orange to become spotted. By the way… Re-greening is a natural phenomenon that is caused by warmer summer temperatures producing more chlorophyll. It does not affect the juice or eating quality. Sound Advisor • Fall 2012 5
