By incorporating them into your diet in the right way, you can boost your health and energy levels this summer. Soaking and sprouting dry fruits is a concept that is very widely followed in Indian households. However, it has not been taken up by the organised dry fruits industry in India and has not been leveraged for its benefits in the industry around the world. Soaking helps to soften nuts & dry fruits, making them easier to digest. It also helps to release nutrients and makes them more bio-available. Shalin. Khanna, CMO, ProV Foods, shares his insights on how "sprouting dry fruits and nuts" is a great way to consume dry fruits and seeds in the extremely hot and humid Indian summer months.
Opting for dry fruits and nuts as snacks is a healthy choice that can provide a range of health benefits. They are nutritious, satisfying, versatile, and convenient, making them a great option for anyone looking to improve their diet and overall health. Dry fruits and nuts such as almonds, walnuts, raisins, dates & figs are rich in potassium and other minerals that can help you stay hydrated. They contain natural sugars that can help replenish your energy levels during the hot summer months. They are a good source of essential nutrients such as protein, omega-3 fats, fibre, vitamins, and minerals, and are also rich in antioxidants that can protect your cells from damage caused by free radicals. They have a high-calorie density and are a great way to satisfy your hunger cravings and meet your energy needs without resorting to unhealthy snacks.
