HEALTH & BENEFITS

Apples are a great source of dietary fiber, which can help regulate digestion and lower cholesterol levels.
The high content of antioxidants in apples and pomegranate molasses has been associated with reducing the risk of chronic diseases, such as heart disease and cancer. Pistachios and walnuts are also good sources of healthy fats and protein, which can help maintain healthy weight and support brain function.
