HEALTH FACTS & BENEFITS

Chestnuts

Chestnuts contain very little fat, mostly unsaturated, and no gluten. They are lower in calories than almonds, are rich in vitamin C, contain 5g of dietary fibre* and no cholesterol.

Chestnuts provide several vitamins and minerals, such as:

  • Manganese, acting as a cofactor of several enzymes that facilitate a dozen different metabolic processes and helps prevent damage caused by free radicals.
  • Copper, necessary for the formation of hemoglobin and collagen, used for the structure and repair of body tissues.
  • Phosphorus, one of the constituents of cell membranes, playing a vital role in the formation and maintenance of bone and teeth health, helping to maintain normal blood pH.
  • Iron, essential for the transport of oxygen and the formation of red blood cells. Incidentally, its absorption is favored by the presence of vitamin C.
  • Vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, C and Folate, Calcium, Potassium, Sulfur and Zink.
  • Chestnuts are rich in essential fatty acids, EFAs, including Omega-3 and Omega-6. EFAs are used to make hormones and cell membranes, and to protect the nervous system. Omega-3 fatty acids are anti-inflammatory and protective of the cardiovascular system.

Maple syrup

Maple syrup is a natural product. It is 100% pure and completely free of any coloring or additives. It is rich in minerals, such as manganese, potassium, calcium, magnesium and phosphorus.

With a low glycemic index, maple syrup is a healthy alternative to refined sugar and corn syrup, because it features 54 antioxidant compounds, as well as important quantities of terpenes and, in particular, abscisic acid (ABA), a phytohormone whose health benefits* are known to stimulate insulin release through pancreatic cells and to increase the sensitivity of fat cells to insulin, making it a useful weapon against metabolic syndrome and diabetes.

Pure maple syrup also contains a molecule called Quebecol which, when synthesized, possesses anti-inflammatory properties. Quebecol and its derivatives are presently the object of research that could lead to treatment of arthritis and other inflammatory diseases.

Along with all the good reasons to consume pure maple syrup from Canadian artisans, the most pleasant of its attributes remains its delightfully unique taste; one that makes everyone smile from pure pleasure!
