Dublin, CA (March 2, 2016) – What goes around truly does come around, and that’s great news for KARMA® Nuts, which from the beginning committed to sourcing only the highest quality nuts for its cashew snack line. Now the company’s signature Wrapped® Cashew is being recognized as a nut above the rest for its amazing taste and nutritional benefits. The cashews were recently named a top-three finalist, selected among over 500 nominated in the snack/convenience category in the coveted NEXTY Awards for natural products.
It’s a Wrap
KARMA’s Wrapped® Cashews utilize an innovative, proprietary processing technique that makes the cashew’s skin crunchy and tasty. Fans are nuts for these cashews’ unparalleled rich “cashewy” flavor, plus double the fiber and more naturally occurring health-promoting antioxidants than regular (skinless) cashews.
Also, NIS Labs, a third-party testing facility that evaluates how natural products impact human physiology, recently documented the cellular antioxidant capacity of KARMA® Wrapped® Cashews, compared to other snack nuts.
“The testing to date shows that KARMA® Wrapped® Cashews provide a better cellular antioxidant protection than almonds, hazelnuts, regular cashews and pistachios,” says Gitte Jensen, Ph.D, author of the NIS Labs report. “This suggests that the antioxidants in the KARMA® Wrapped® Cashews are easily available to protect living cells from damaging free radical stress.”
