Pickles:


Dill Pickles are low in calories and fat and high in in dietary fiber and Vitamin K.

• One cup of kosher dill pickles will give you 2 g of dietary fiber. This is 6 percent of your daily recommended amount of dietary fiber. Dietary fiber is good for regularity in the digestive system.

  Kosher dill pickles are a great way to get your daily recommended amount of vitamin K. One serving has 70 percent of your recommended amount of vitamin K. Vitamin K helps to protect the body against osteoporosis.

  
  

  Tahini:

  
  

  Tahini paste is made from crushed sesame seeds and has quite a nutty taste.

  Hulled tahini does not grind the whole sesame seed and because of this it does not contain as much calcium, protein and vitamins as unhulled. Unhulled tahini is made from the whole sesame seed and it the most nutritionally packed type of tahini. Hulled tahini is not as bitter tasting as the unhulled type.

  Raw tahini contains more nutrients than roasted tahini.

  Tahini is a source of calcium, protein and B vitamins. Tahini is a good source of essential fatty acids (EFA), these EFA's are used in helping to maintain healthy skin.

  Tahini is rich in many different vitamins and minerals, but it is particularly full of different B vitamins. In specific, the B vitamins found in tahini include B2, B1, B15, B3 and B5. Each of these vitamins is an important part of the B complex of vitamins. The B complex is necessary for a variety of important bodily functions and processes. Specifically, these vitamins help to promote healthy cell growth and splitting, including for the red blood cells. Having strong red blood cells prevents anemia and many other potentially dangerous conditions. B vitamins are also helpful in regenerating certain parts of your body after injury, and they can aid in the recuperation process and even cut down in the recovery time after certain setbacks.

  A single serving of tahini contains about one third of your necessary daily dose of calcium, and it is much easier for your body to digest than milk.

  Tahini is a source of vitamin E which helps to reduce the rate of ageing in body cells.

  Sesame seeds are also a good source of the amino acid Methionine. Methionine is an important contributor to liver detoxification and helps with the absorption of other amino acids.
