....OF HENNA AND PINE SEEDS....


I'VE GONE NUTS!!!


Everyones' nuts, for the versatile pine nut. Pine nuts aren't really nuts, but just about everyone is nuts for them. Found in the cones of pine trees, these buttery seeds are the darling of cuisines.


High in monounsaturated fats - the same heart-healthy fats in nuts and olive oil - pine nuts yield up to 14 grams of protein per serving. Eating a handful, can actually suppress appetite since they are packed with pinolenic acid, a subtance that sends a "full" signal to the brain.

Grown: in Europe and China




PRETTY DANGEROUS: THE HIDDEN RISKS IN BEAUTY TREATMENT CHEMICAL ADDED TO HENNA MIXES HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED AS A HEALTH RISK
