Send the kids on a healthier hunt this Easter! Consider filling your Easter eggs with some delicious and nutritious selections from our bulk section! Some of our favorites include:
- Raw Pecans – Research studies show that making nuts like pecans a regular part of your diet offers an array of health benefits including lowering risk for heart disease and assisting in weight control.
- Organic Almonds – These stellar nuts are best known for their vitamin E content, and studies show that almond eaters have lower blood cholesterol levels, thanks to heart-healthy monounsaturated fats and phytonutrients.
- Organic Walnuts – The king of nuts when it comes to the essential fat, alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), which supports skin and brain health. Studies show that including walnuts in the diet regularly may also aid in weight control.
- Organic Mango – Dried mango supplies a bit of vitamin A as beta carotene, a touch of vitamin C and fiber (though levels of these nutrients are higher in the fresh version).
- Organic Banana Chips (sweetened) – A small handful of these sweeties supplies about 10% of potassium and vitamin B6 needs, two nutrients crucial for heart health.
- Turkish Apricots – Rich in taste, color and nutrition, dried apricots are nature's candy, and a great way to get your sweet fix.
Selection varies by store.
