Cashews are low in sugar and rich in fiber, heart-healthy fats, and plant protein. They're also a good source of copper, magnesium, and manganese nutrients important for energy production, brain health, immunity, and bone health.
Top-Op Chickpeas, also known as garbanzo beans, are a type of legume that is commonly used in Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and Indian cuisine. They are round, beige-coloured beans with a nutty and slightly sweet flavour, and they are a good source of protein, fibre, and essential vitamins and minerals.
Rambutan is a tropical fruit tree of the same botanical family as litchi (or lychee) and is native to Southeast Asia, Indonesia, Sri Lanka and Malaysia.
Once peeled, the rambutan fruit with its off-white flesh, oblong golf ball size and central inedible brown pip, is to the untrained eye, quite indistinguishable from the lychi! The somewhat translucent flesh of the rambutan is deliciously sweet, juicy and simply bursting with Vitamin C. These tropical fruits are most commonly eaten fresh, after having been peeled out of their brightly colored hairy jackets and de-stoned.
Arrowroot starch is a powdered product extracted from the roots of the arrowroot plant. It contains about 23 percent starch. Arrowroot starch is mostly used as a thickening agent in foods like puddings and sauces. Its thickening power is twice that of regular flour. It should be mixed with cold water before adding to a hot liquid to prevent clumping. It's also used in cookies and crackers as a substitute for regular flour and therefore is a good option for those who are gluten intolerant.
