   Intresting information about HIGH FIBER FOODS(nuts)

Ingredients:

Nature packs a lot of nutrition into a little nut. Shelled or unshelled, raw, dry roasted, oil roasted, sugared, salted, or coated in honey, nuts and seeds are more nutrient-dense than most other foods. They are rich sources of protein, fiber, B-vitamins, folic acid, calcium, iron, zinc, the antioxidants vitamin E and selenium, and of course, they are a great source of dietary fiber. Sunflower and sesame seeds, along with various kinds of nuts, are a nutritious addition to salads. Sprinkle on a spoonful and enjoy.

It’s best to dole out a small amount into a container rather than snacking right out of the bag. But, the good news is that the fiber in nuts and seeds will fill you up quickly and keep you feel full for a long time.
