1. Oilseeds: There are different types of nuts categorised under oilseeds (nuts, almonds, pistachios, pine nuts ...) and seeds (sunflower, flax, sesame, squash ...). These foods can easily be eaten plain or mixed into desserts or salads. They contain essential fatty acids as well as minerals and vitamins. It is best to choose them organic and without added salt or fat in order to preserve their nutritional properties.
2. Dried fruit: Dried fruit includes dried bananas, dried apricots, raisins, and figs. They are very beneficial from a nutritional point of view because they are particularly rich in vitamins and minerals. Purchase the fruit without any added sugar in order to avoid the consumption of refined sugars.
