People the world over have been ingenious in making food into essential snacks. There is an instinctive and practical need for food that stores well, is portable, and provides quick energy. Variety is sought, soft or crunchy, fruity or salty, lean or rich, depending upon mood and activity level. Unfortunately, industrial snack foods deplete energy and well-being with saturated, commonly hydrogenated (trans) fat, excessive poor quality salt, refined sugars, preservatives, dyes, artificial flavorings, additives, and a long list of toxic chemical processing aids.
Enjoyable Real Food
Today, snacking is thought to be a bad thing. This is regrettable and unnecessary, ignoring beneficial snacks like EDEN's that are enjoyable real food that's very good for you. They nourish and energize, but do not deplete. They provide high quality protein, complex carbohydrates, and healthy essential fatty acids (EFAs) containing poly and monounsaturated fat. They are rich in potent phytonutrients and antioxidants, that the vast majority of us do not get enough of. They provide essential fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Their antioxidants subdue oxygen free radicals. Researchers estimate that people need 3,000 to 5,000 Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) units of antioxidants daily in order to reach levels that benefit health. It's estimated current intake is only about 1,200 units per day for the average person. EDEN dried fruits offer far more than this per serving, and recently it's been verified that properly grown organic foods are far richer in antioxidants and phytonutrients than commercial counterparts.
