In several studies from Africa, sweet potatoes were found to contain between 100-1,600 micrograms (RAE) of vitamin A in every 3.5 ounces—enough, on average, to meet 35% of all vitamin A needs, and in many cases enough to meet over 90% of vitamin A needs (from this single food alone).

I am going Nuts with Cashew - Cashew Nuts and its Health Benefits!

The delicately flavoured cashew nut is a favourite in-between meal snack that can be readily found in your local market all year round. It also makes wonderful nut butter and a special addition to salads and stir-fry dishes.
Cashew nuts are actually the kidney-shaped seeds that adhere to the bottom of the cashew apple, the fruit of the cashew tree, which is native to the coastal areas of north-eastern Brazil. While cashew apples are not appreciated in the United States, they are regarded as delicacies in Brazil and the Caribbean. Cashews are always sold shelled because the interior of the shells contains a caustic resin, known as cashew balm, which must be carefully removed before the nuts are fit for consumption. This caustic resin is actually used in industry to make varnishes and insecticides. In Nigeria, you can get the nuts de-shelled and it became a delicacy sold commercially due its advertised nutritional benefits. I have so many friends here that have been asking me; 'why should I eat nuts when I am trying to watch my weight?' and many other questions concerning nuts, below you will get some reasons why you should go nuts especially with cashew.
