Pista
Pista (pistachio or piyesta), is an excellent source of vitamins and minerals, boasting low amounts of fat, carbohydrates and sugar while being high in proteins and essential oils. Pista also boasts high levels of dietary fiber to regulate blood pressure while supporting healthy bowel movements and iron supplementation as an anticancer agent. Pista can be found in both Indian desserts/curries and continental baked goods and has also proven itself as an aphrodisiac for men as it increases fertility.
Pistachios are highly esteemed in Iran, where they are commonly known as the “Green Gold.” Pistachios contain many vitamins and are an excellent source of energy; they can be eaten raw, roasted, or ground into powder for culinary use. In addition, Pistachios may help lower cholesterol, prevent cancer, and reduce the risk of heart disease – all qualities deemed desirable health benefits!

Apricot
Apricots are an excellent source of vitamins A, fiber, and potassium; iron helps regulate blood cells. Not only are dried apricots an ideal healthy snack option, but their versatility also makes them suitable for various cooking recipes; try adding them to oatmeal as an enjoyable sweet treat, toss them on top of green salad for a bite of sweetness, or use the flavoring in marinades for chicken or pork dishes!
Dried fruit refers to produce that has had much of its moisture removed through sun drying or heated wind tunnel dryers, most commonly raisins, dates, prunes, figs, and apricots; although other types such as cranberries strawberries, and pineapple are sometimes sold as dried fruits though these candied treats actually fall under this category.
Dried fruits can be found at most grocery stores and supermarkets in Bangalore, as well as specialty food stores that specialize exclusively in dry fruits. There are also markets dedicated to selling dried fruit, such as Jayanagar 4th Block Dry Fruits Market and Gandhi Bazaar, that specialize in selling them at discounted prices; you can even order online via sites like Amazon and Flipkart!
Almonds
Almonds are an excellent source of vitamin E, an antioxidant that protects cells against damage and slows down the aging process. Furthermore, almonds contain copper, iron, riboflavin, and other essential elements necessary for blood health and preventing anemia; in addition, almonds provide protein and fiber. Their monounsaturated fats may reduce cardiovascular disease risk by lowering levels of low-density lipoprotein (bad cholesterol).
Almonds can be enjoyed raw or roasted. Roasting almonds makes them more flavorful and more accessible to digest; however, burning also increases phytic acid levels that could hinder the absorption of minerals such as iron and zinc. Almonds contain plenty of magnesium, which has been found to prevent metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes, as well as help maintain normal blood pressure.
A handful of almonds contains approximately 160 calories and 6 grams of carbs. Almonds are an excellent source of protein and fiber to help you feel full, yet they are high-calorie snacks, so be mindful when eating them in moderation.
Ajfan Store offers an abundance of dried fruits and nuts packed with essential nutrients, such as apricots, raisins, cashews, and pistachios that provide great nutritional support to the body and help improve immunity, digestion, mood as well as manage diabetes or facilitate weight loss. Perfect for healthy snacking! Ajfan Store also carries high-grade selections like these nuts that offer diabetes management as well as weight loss!
Cashews
Cashews are kidney-shaped seeds produced by the cashew tree (Anacardium occidentale). This tropical evergreen shrub or tree in the family Anacardiaceae was originally native to Brazil but is now widely cultivated across warm climates for its fruit and cashew nut. Cashew apples produced from this tree do not belong to true apples but more closely resemble drupes, thin-skinned fruits with central stony seeds (via Healthline). Their flesh is used in beverages, jams, and jellies, while their seeds can be dry roasted and salted until fully satisfied by us all!
Cashews offer an excellent dairy alternative. Their high-fat content makes them great for vegan cheese spreads, ice creams, and soups, and stews; additionally, they make a perfect healthy snack on their own or combined with other dried fruits to form dairy-free nut butter.
Cashews provide not only calories but also significant dietary fiber and are low in sodium content, with unsalted varieties offering less added salt and oils. Rich in Vitamin E and B vitamins and minerals such as magnesium and copper – cashews help promote muscle growth while providing protein for maintenance.
Eat cashews as part of a nutritious, well-rounded diet, and limit sugary fruits such as bananas or raisins in moderation to prevent weight gain. Too many dried fruits, with their high calorie and sugar content, could also lead to unwanted weight gain, so be mindful when consuming dried figs, dates, or berries, as these could contribute to an undesirable increase in body weight. However, for muscle building, try including Ajfan’s Premium Mix Dry Fruits into your daily regime instead.
