Organic Almond Oil

Sunday, February 07th, 2010 | Author: admin

Organic almond oil comes from the nuts, or kernels, of the sweet almond plant. The oil is collected from the dried almond nuts and used for a variety of purposes.

Organic almond oil is mostly made from omega-9 fats and lesser amounts of omega-6 polyunsaturated essential fatty acid. Unlike other oils with high levels of fats, almond oil does not become rancid easily. This makes it a great oil for use on the skin. Massage therapists will often choose organic almond oil to lubricate the skin during massages. Almond oil can be used to moisturize the skin, reduce itching, and improve the complexion. Organic almond oil is often added to natural soaps and lotions for these very purposes.

People who suffer from dry, brittle hair often use organic almond oil in their hair. Massaging a few drops of almond oil onto the scalp can moisturize a dry scalp and prevent dandruff from forming. Combing the oil through the hair will add moisture and shine to dry hair. This light oil is absorbed into the hair easily and does not leave a greasy residue.

Almonds are an incredibly healthy nut. The almond contains no gluten or carbohydrates. It is often crushed into almond flour to make cakes and biscuits for people who cannot eat gluten or carbohydrates. Almonds can also be ground to create a milk substitute. This organic almond milk has been used in the place of cow milk for centuries and is a healthy alternative to animal milk.

Almonds are rich in vitamin E and monounsaturated fats, both of which are known to reduce cholesterol levels. The light oil of almonds can also be used in cooking as a substitute to olive oil. Cooking with organic almond oil can make foods healthier for people who suffer from high levels of negative cholesterol. Almonds are also thought to have several other health properties that can be gained by eating the almonds or cooking with almond oil. In some cultures almonds are thought to increase intelligence, increase longevity, and reduce the risk of some cancers.

Organic almond oil has many important uses. The moisturizing properties of almond oil also makes it a great choice for protecting wooden instruments. Many professionals massage almond oil onto their wooden musical instruments to protect and preserve them from wear and tear. Wooden musical instruments can dry and crack easily, frequent oiling will keep them working well and lasting for years.

Almonds are one of the most amazing nuts on earth. They can be eaten to provide an abundance of health benefits to the diet. They can be crushed and mixed with water to create a nutritious organic almond milk that is just as delicious as cow milk. Most amazing of all, almonds can be dried to extract their oil that offers a wide variety of uses. Cosmetic care, wood protection, and healthy cooking are all made better through organic almond oil.

Organic Almond Milk

Saturday, February 06th, 2010 | Author: admin

There are many reasons to search for an alternative to cow's milk. Lactose intolerance, allergies, vegan lifestyle, or distaste for the dairy product are several reasons that consumers are reaching for organic almond milk. This delicious substitute is a combination of ground almonds and water. It can be easily produced at home or found in most organic food stores.

To make almond milk, simply ground shelled almonds in a blender and add enough water to create a thin consistency. This liquid can be used as an option in most recipes requiring milk. Adding fruit and ice to organic almond milk makes a fantastic vegan smoothie. Almond milk is a great resource for calorie counters. There are only 70 calories in an eight ounce glass of milk as opposed to 180 in whole milk. The rich, sweet taste of almonds makes cutting calories easy and delicious. Add one cup almond milk, several ice cubes, cinnamon, nutmeg, and 1/2 teaspoon of instant coffee in a blender to create a low calorie, frozen latte.

Almonds have many health benefits including Vitamin E, an excellent antioxidant. Antioxidants cleanse the digestive system and help regulate the colon. High levels of unsaturated fat with no cholesterol are an added advantage. Drinking or cooking with almond milk, can help lower the bad cholesterol, LDL, aiding the circulatory system and heart. Switching to organic almond milk may reduce chances of heart attack, stroke, high cholesterol levels and lower blood pressure.

For those that are lactose intolerant, almond milk is a satisfying and nutritious alternative. Almonds contain no lactose. Drinking almond milk instead of dairy milk may alleviate heartburn, acid reflux, sour stomach and bowel issues associated with lactose intolerance.

Rich in omega-3's, almonds work to lower cholesterol and clear plaque in the arteries. Omega-3's are generally associated with fatty fish such as tuna, mackerel and salmon. Nuts are the number two source of high omega-3 fatty acids. Because organic almond milk utilizes unprocessed, raw almonds, all the nutrients and omega-3's retain their highest level of potency.

Like dairy milk, the almond drink substitute is high in magnesium, zinc, potassium, calcium and iron. Increased bone density, regulated digestive and circulatory systems are some of the profits gained from these vitamins and minerals found naturally in almonds.

Organic almond milk is a nutritious and cost effective substitute for its dairy alternative. Processed almond milk is gaining popularity and can be found in most organic grocery stores. Considering other milk substitutes such as soy or rice, almond milk may be one of the tastiest alternatives.

Organic Almond Butter

Monday, October 05th, 2009 | Author: admin

American kids love their peanut-butter sandwiches. They just love it. But growing number of kids can’t touch that stuff because of peanut allergy. The allergy can be just nearly recognizable or can also be really life threatening. And there are some individuals who don’t like the taste of peanut or peanut butter. So, is there any alternative?

Yes! How about considering almond products? To those who are really health and environmentally conscious organic almond butter is the product to vote for.

Why would you prefer organic almond butter over regular one? The answer is simple. Organic food products contain no chemicals, artificial colors, sweeteners or preservatives. Those all ingredients can make you and your nut butter loving kids sick and if you are allergic to preservatives, really sick. Also the real organic almond butter won’t include any salt or sugar. It will be made of organically grown raw almonds.

There are two schools about how to do organic almond butter; either you make it from dry roasted almonds or from raw almonds. Which one is the correct one depends really on the taste of those like to consume it. The latest trends tends towards raw almonds although the opponents dispute that raw almonds might be not so healthy as first thought due to salmonella and the Almond Board of California tries to regulate the organic almond industry with some imposed pasteurization procedures.

To make almond butter the almonds are freshly grinded two or three times to keep their temperature as cool as possible because intensive and continuous grinding raises it. Also keeping it low helps to maintain the almonds to stay raw and preserve their flavor, nutrients and enzymes. To preserve the health ingredients in almond butter some companies, such as Living Tree, stopped grinding altogether and they slice it in batches and very slowly through many days. Then the almond butter is refrigerated to keep it fresh.

Nutritional Information

Organic almond butter taste great. But what is making it a really fabulous consumption product are the health benefits. This butter is reach in proteins and can substitute meat for vegetarians or for people who for health reasons can’t consume a lot of meat. Also in meat you can find saturated fats, which can are one of the main reasons for coronary deceases. On those grounds almond butter is an excellent source of unsaturated fat acids that not only help to prevent heart decease but also can help to fight the existing one, too by reducing the “bad” cholesterol levels.

Organic almond butter is a very good source of Vitamin E (known as youth vitamin) as it is famous for general immune system boost. Here again, consuming Vitamin E helps in fighting heart disease. Another nutrient found in almond butter and helping in fighting cardiovascular disease is Linoleic acid. This nutrient is also very important to human body because it is one of the nutrients human bodies can’t produce it and therefore Linoleic acid must be taken with either supplements or food. This acid is a core component of maintaining cell membranes and manages the metabolism on the cellular level.

In many ways almond butter is superior to peanut butter. Although organic almond butter can be delicious and creamy, the people who suffer from peanut allergy must be careful and read the labels as some of the almond butters are made on the same machinery as peanuts and the severe allergy cases can’t even come with contact with peanut and the label on the jar will tell if there is potential peanut allergy danger.
