      <description><![CDATA[ <a href="http://www.therawfoodworld.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=1005843"><img src="http://www.therawfoodworld.com/images/manukaraisins.jpg" alt="Monukka Raisins (Organic, Raw), 16oz" title=" Monukka Raisins (Organic, Raw), 16oz " width="123" height="100" style="float: left; margin: 0px 8px 8px 0px;" /></a>Brown Manuka raisins get their unique, natural brown color through careful drying in the shade. No sugar or pigments are added. They originally come from the Pamir mountains in the central Asian highlands. <br><Br>

  <li> Large round, sweet raisins.
      <li> Contains seeds which can be eaten.
  <li>     No added sugar, no oil & no preservatives - just 100% fruit<br><br>

Grown in the Himalayan mountain region, the Monukka Raisins have a sligthtly larger size than the traditional dark raisin made from dried green grapes. The color is a lighter golden brown, a color that ranges between a golden raisin and the dark colored raisin. To produce this variety of raisin, grapes are grown in a mineral rich soil at altitudes of 6,000 to 9,000 feet. They are then sun-dried for several weeks, which causes the raisins to become dark, shriveled in appearance and slightly harder in texture. As they dry, the cool air adds sugar content to provide a natural sweet flavor that has a slightly fig-like taste. <br><Br>
Raisins can be stored, tightly sealed, at room temperature for several months, but to store longer (up to a year) seal the raisins in a plastic bag stored in the refrigerator.

      <comments>http://www.therawfoodworld.com/index.php?main_page=product_reviews&amp;products_id=1006448</comments>
      <description><![CDATA[ <a href="http://www.therawfoodworld.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=1006448"><img src="http://www.therawfoodworld.com/images/jumboblkrais.jpg" alt="JUMBO Black Raisins, 1 lb (Thompson)" title=" JUMBO Black Raisins, 1 lb (Thompson) " width="100" height="100" style="float: left; margin: 0px 8px 8px 0px;" /></a><b>Sourced from Argentina </b>  <br><br>

Fresh, juicy and delicious, these high quality, Thompson variety, black raisins are packed with flavor and provide the perfect touch of juicy, sun-kissed flavor to any arrangement or recipe. Plump and refreshing the explosion of natural sweetness is the perfect way to enhance recipes, salads, desserts, or just for plain, good old fashioned snacking. <br><br>

Raisins are indispensable when it comes to dry fruits. Those golden, green or black colored delicacies are favorites of almost everybody, especially children. Raisins are widely used worldwide in cuisines (especially in desserts), health tonics, as snacks and also as food for mountaineers, trekkers etc. <br><br>
Raisins are obtained by drying grapes (green or black), either in sun or in driers, and look like golden, green or black gems. Indeed they are like gems when their nutritional values and health benefits are considered. <br><br>
Let us watch their brilliance. <br><br>

<b>Constipation: </b> When ingested, raisins swell as the fiber present in them in dried form absorbs water. This helps giving relief in constipation. <br><br>
<b>Weight Gain: </b> Raisins, like all dry fruits, are very good for gaining weight, as they are full of fructose and glucose and give a lot of energy. Thus, they form an ideal part of the diet for either athletes or body builders who need a lot of energy or those who want to put on weight, without accumulating cholesterol. This is further boosted due to presence of many vitamins, amino acids and minerals (such as selenium, phosphorus etc.) in raisins which facilitate absorption of other nutrients and proteins in the body. <br><br>
<b>Acidosis: </b>Acidosis is a state of increased acidity of the blood (also known as toxicity of the blood) or of the gases in our respiratory system, the source of acids for both being our stomach. This is very harmful for the body as it may give rise to a number of problems like boils, skin diseases and damage to the internal organs, arthritis, gout, renal calculi, hair loss, heart diseases, tumors and even cancer. Raisins are good source of potassium and magnesium (two of the most popular constituents of antacids, being basic in nature) both of which are very effective in reducing acidity. They neutralize the acids and thus help check acidosis. <br><br>
<b>Anemia: </b> Raisins contain considerable amount of iron which directly helps treating anemia. It also contains many members of vitamin-B complex which are essential for formation of blood. Copper in them also help formation of red blood cells. <br><br>
<b>Fever: </b> Phenolic Phytonutrients, well known for their germicidal, anti biotic and anti oxidant properties, are present in abundance in raisins and help cure fever by fighting viral and bacterial infections. <br><br>
<b>Sexual Weakness: </b> Raisins are known to stimulate libido and induce arousal, primarily due to presence of an amino acid called Arginine, which is beneficial in treating problems in erection. It has been a common practice in India to make the bride and the groom drink a glass of milk each, boiled with raisins and added with a pinch of saffron. It is also recommended for those suffering from sexual weakness, to consume raisins regularly. This effect is aided with the presence of lot of energy in raisins. <br><br>
<b>Bone Health: </b>  While Calcium, which is the main constituent of bones, is present in raisins, it is one of the best sources of Boron, a micro nutrient (a nutrient required by the body in very small amount as compared to other nutrients) which is very necessary for proper bone formation and absorption of calcium. Boron is particularly helpful in preventing osteoporosis induced by menopause in women and is very beneficial for bones and joints. <br><br>

<b>Eye Care: </b>  Raisins contain polyphenolic phytonutrients which have anti oxidant properties which are very good for ocular health, as they protect eyes from damages caused by free radicals (oxidants), such as macular degeneration, age related weakening of vision, cataract etc. In addition, it contains very good amount of vitamin-A, A-Beta Carotene and A-Carotenoid, all of which are essential for a good ocular health. <br><br>
<b>Dental Care: </b>  Oleanolic Acid, one of the phytochemicals present in raisins, plays crucial role in protecting your teeth against tooth decay, cavities, brittleness of teeth etc. It effectively prevents growth of Streptococcus Mutans and Porphyromonas Gingivalis, two of the species of bacteria which are most responsible for cavities and other dental problems. In addition, it is rich in calcium which is very good for promoting dental health, as it prevents breaking or peeling away of teeth and enamel and makes them strong. One more interesting thing about raisins is that the longer they stick to your teeth, the better, as it ensures longer contact of Oleanolic Acid with the teeth preventing growth of bacteria. In addition to above, boron present in raisins plays a very important role in checking growth of germs in the mouth as well promotes health of bones and teeth. <br><br>
<b>Other Benefits: </b> Catechin, a phenolic anti oxidant present in raisins, is very effective for prevention of tumor and cancer of colon. The fibers in it help excretion of bile from the body, burning of cholesterol and thereby ensuring good cardiac health. <br><br>

Harvest" title=" Himalayan Apricots w/ Pits [Tree Ripened], 1 LB - Inter. Harvest " width="108" height="100" style="float: left; margin: 0px 8px 8px 0px;" /></a>The apricots are gently and slowly sun-dried on solar driers of our own construction, and are a 100% natural product. The apricot is a kind of national dish in Uzbekistan, and is traditionally served as a symbol of hospitality. <br><br>


In making dried apricots, fresh apricots are stripped of their water content without tampering with their nutrient qualities. And do you know that 5 pounds of fresh apricots produce only one pound of dried apricots?<br><br>

For this reason, dried apricots carry a much higher concentration level of nutrients than any other forms.<br><br>

But the goodness doesn't stop here.<br><br>

They are also rich sources of beta carotene (plant form of vitamin A) - a fat-soluble nutrient found in dark green leafy vegetables and fruits like carrots, sweet potatoes, and cantaloupe. However, if you drink canned apricot juice, you'll get less than 50% beta carotene of the dried form.<br><br>

You can also obtain potassium, iron, calcium, silicon, phosphorus, and vitamin C from apricots.<br><br>

Despite their high sugar content and calories level over the fresh, they are nonetheless the preferred choice as a compact and convenient source of nutrients.<br><br>

Have you ever come across the brown dried apricots apart from the more commonly seen orange ones?<br><br>

Their difference in colors can tell you which one is tastier.<br><br>

You might also wonder why their colors are different. Here's the reason.<br><br>

Non-organic apricots are treated with sulphur dioxide before drying in order to prevent the fruits from oxidation, thus preserving their rich orange color.<br><br>

This chemically-processed treatment produces sulfites and may in turn trigger asthma attack in certain people. Therefore, if you are allergic to sulfites, avoid orange dried apricots.<br><br>

Look out for the brown organic dried apricots, they are the healthy ones without sulfites that also carry a yummy caramel taste.<br><br>

So now you know the difference. Which would you rather buy, the unpleasant-looking brown or deceptively nice-looking orange?<br><br>

<big><b><u>Other Benefits of Apricots</u></b></big><br><br>

<li> Treat Constipation - Apricots can act as gentle laxative due to its cellulose and pectin content. Hence, if you suffer from chronic constipation, consume 6 to 8 apricots per day should help improve your condition.
<li>  Ease Indigestion - As they produce an alkaline reaction on the body system, they can help you to digest better if you take some before meal. Just make sure you don't take too much so as not to disturb your proper meal consumption.
<li> Good for Anemia - Anemia is a condition whereby the blood has a lower-than-normal concentration of red blood cells (RBCs) or the RBCs have a below average amount of hemoglobin. This condition is most commonly caused by iron deficiency. Since dried apricots contain high content of iron, they're usually included in the treatment of Anemia.
<li> Fight Fevers - Apricot juice with glucose or honey can help cool your body during fever. It can also quench your thirst, eliminate the waste products from your body, tone up your eyes, stomach, liver, heart and nerves by supplying vitamins and minerals.
<li> Treat Skin Diseases - You can use apricot leaves to treat scabies, eczema, sunburn and itching of your skin due to cold exposure.
<li> Avoid Fat Deposits - As apricots are low in calories and fats, you can purée canned apricots in a blender until smooth and use it as substitute for oil, prunes or applesauce in high-calorie, high-fat recipes.

Red bananas are a variety of bananas with reddish-purple skin. They are smaller and plumper than the common Cavendish banana. When ripe, raw red bananas have a flesh that is cream to light pink in color. They are also softer and sweeter than the yellow Cavendish varieties, with a slight raspberry-banana flavor. Many red bananas are imported from producers in Asia and South America. They are a favorite in Central America but are sold throughout the world.<br><br>


Red bananas should have a deep red or maroon rind when ripe, and are best eaten when not bruised and slightly soft. The redder the fruit, the more carotene and the higher the vitamin C level as with yellow bananas.<br><br>


Red bananas are eaten in the same way as yellow bananas, by peeling the fruit before eating and are fresh and flavorful. They are frequently eaten raw whole or chopped and added to desserts and fruit salads but can also be baked, fried and toasted.

      <description><![CDATA[ <a href="http://www.therawfoodworld.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=1003414"><img src="http://www.therawfoodworld.com/images/mulberrymix.jpg" alt="Black and White Mulberry Mix (Organic), 16oz" title=" Black and White Mulberry Mix (Organic), 16oz " width="133" height="100" style="float: left; margin: 0px 8px 8px 0px;" /></a>The Mulberry (Morus alba) grows on a tree that has a short, thick trunk and wide spreading branches, and is slow growing to a height of 20 to 30 feet. It is native to Middle Eastern countries such as Turkey and Armenia, and is now cultivated in many parts of Europe. The tree produces a berry composed of a cluster of tiny, closely-packed mini-berries, each of which contains a seed. The dried fruit has a subtle, sweet taste and a slightly crunchy texture caused by the seeds.
<br><br>
Mulberries have a growing reputation as a functional food with antioxidant properties. The main active antioxidant ingredient the mature berries contain is called "resveratrol". The berries are an excellent source of Vitamin C and Iron. For a fruit, they are also high in protein. Mulberries are yet another tasty functional food that you can eat as a light snack or add to both sweet and savory recipes, and obtain a nutrient-rich boost.
<br><br>
These Mulberries are certified organic and vegan. The berries grow wild in Turkey where they have been traditionally grown since biblical times. The Mulberries are harvested using sustainable methods and are guaranteed to be free of heavy metals, chemicals and pesticides. <br><br>

Power Foods for the Modern Lifestyle 
<br><br>
Suggested Use<br><br>


Eat Mulberries right out of the bag, or add them to cereals, smoothies, trail mixes, salads or desserts. Try them just with regular or soy milk.

But dried apricots will benefit you even more.<br><br>

Our apricots come from the primeval mountains on the plateaux of Uzbekistan, a region which has never seen the use of pesticides. They are harvested from wild and released apricot trees according to controlled organic farming practices certified by the Austria Bio Guarantie, and sun-dried in a natural, gentle way. <br><br>

Since our apricots are not picked from grafted trees, the flavour is sweet and sour, and the fruits themselves are very inhomogeneous and very different. This is what makes our apricot halves so unique. An incredible experience for the palate. <br><br>

The apricots are gently and slowly sun-dried on solar driers of our own construction, and are a 100% natural product. The apricot is a kind of national dish in Uzbekistan, and is traditionally served as a symbol of hospitality. <br><br>
