Cashew nuts are rich in dietary fiber, vitamins, minerals and numerous health-promoting phyto-chemicals that help protect from diseases and cancers.
Pistachios are a rich source of protein, dietary fiber, several dietary minerals and the B vitamins, thiamin and especially vitamin B6.
Apricots are an excellent source of several important nutrients, including fiber, potassium and antioxidant carotenoids.
