Source and Processing
This cookie’s nuts are germinated. The cookie is then dehydrated at or under 108ºF. It consists of organic almonds, organic raisins, organic & raw agave nectar, and organic cardamom.
Benefits
Germinating causes a useful breakdown of complex compounds, transforming them into essential combinations that are far more digestible than in their raw state. Amino acids/protein and nutritious fat, fiber, and total vitamin and mineral contents improve with the germinating process.
Germinating removes the enzyme inhibitors in nuts and seeds that can cause digestive problems, while activating digestive enzymes to assist your body in digesting the nut/seed’s nutrients. Germinating also removes the water-soluble phytic and oxalic acids in nuts and seeds that can block the assimilation of some nutrients.
Almonds are rich in energy, minerals, vitamins, proteins, and other nutrients. Their consumption has been shown to lower cholesterol and heart disease. Further research has also demonstrated their ability to act as an antioxidant and help lessen after meal surges in blood sugar.
Pure, raw agave nectar is rich in inulin, which is not broken down by your digestive enzymes. Because the inulin is not broken down by normal digestion, it does not elevate blood sugar levels and may therefore be helpful in the management of diabetes. Inulin will aid in the absorption of calcium. There is solid evidence for inulin’s efficacy as a prebiotic to promote gut health.
Cardamom is part of the ginger family. It is high in the phytochemical cineole, which can positively affect several bodily complaints. Cardamom is considered to have many benefits related to the digestive system. It can help stimulating the digestive system, reduce gas, and counteract stomach acidity. It is said to even help with halitosis. Cardamom is also considered beneficial to the urinary-tract system and a kidney cleanser. Ayurvedic medicine uses cardamom is to improve the circulation of the lungs and to treat asthma.
