Gourmet Honey Roast Peanuts Raisins Glazed Walnuts Cashews Sweetened Cranberries Nomadic Blend
by John B Sanfilippo Son
A mixed nut and dried fruit blend with multiple added sugars and inflammatory seed oils that diminish the natural benefits of nuts. While providing healthy fats and protein from nuts, the heavy processing and sugar coating make this more of an indulgent snack than a health food.
- Honey Roasted Peanuts – safe · Peanuts are nutrient-dense legumes providing protein, healthy fats, and minerals, though the honey roasting adds sugar and processing.
- Peanuts – beneficial · Good source of monounsaturated fats, protein, niacin, and resveratrol with heart health benefits.
- Sugar – controversial · Added refined sugar increases caloric density and can contribute to blood sugar spikes and inflammation when consumed regularly.
- Honey – safe · Natural sweetener with trace minerals and antioxidants, though still functions as added sugar in the body.
- Vegetable Oil – controversial · Blend includes inflammatory seed oils like cottonseed and soybean oil that are high in omega-6 fatty acids.
- Peanut Oil – safe · Relatively stable oil with neutral flavor, though high in omega-6 fatty acids.
- Cottonseed Oil – controversial · Highly processed seed oil associated with inflammation and poor omega-3 to omega-6 ratio.
