Cadbury Dairy Milk Fruit & Nut Chocolate Bar, 300g

Product Information

If you do want to increase the amount of protein in your diet, healthy sources of protein include unsalted nuts, low-fat yoghurt and hard-boiled eggs. A small bar typically contains around 150kcals – that’s less than a Mars bar (228kcal) but more than a banana (89kcal). Because these bars are made from dried fruit and nuts they are more nutritious than biscuits, chocolate or sweets. They are also high in fibre and the fats are usually from nuts, which contain healthier unsaturated fats, unlike the saturated fats found in chocolate, cakes and biscuits.

These are often based on dates with other dried fruit and nut additions and, in some cases, flavourings. The fruit is pureed so it can be formed into a bar, which means the fruit sugars they contain will count as free sugars, even if there is no added sugar. Free sugarsare the kind we should all be cutting down on. I often make an Everyday Fruit Cake to take with us when we go on holiday because it travels well and keeps for a week. It's the ideal cake with a cup of tea when you've been out for the day. We're off to the coast in a couple of weeks and the sea air, combined with lots of walks, always makes me hungry. In fact, now I'm wondering whether to take two. Key ingredients Dried fruit

Gluten free nuts, seeds and dried fruit

There is a trend for products with added protein, but most of us already get more protein than we need. My special ingredient in this Everyday Fruit Cake is a spoonful of jam - any flavour. I started putting jam in when I was given a couple of jars that had been slightly overcooked. The jam was too stiff and treacly tasting to use as it was, so I added it to a fruit cake and liked it.

We're not so much a business as a steward of the piece of earth we use, a time traveller, passing from the era of oil into whatever comes next. Trees live a long time; there are nut trees alive in Ireland today that were planted three centuries ago. And quite likely, in 300 years time - ten generations - there will be trees still alive in Ireland that originated at this nursery. It feels a bit like looking into the wrong end of a telescope, but if you reach far enough, you can reach to the future. Some fruit and nut mixes are also suitable for someone following a plant based diet and from a nutritional point of view, can be very beneficial. Whatever you use, make sure you stir the fruit in by hand. It only takes a minute but then you won't chop it up. Is this a moist cake?If you don't have any jam, you could use marmalade or honey - or even golden syrup (but not too much or the cake will be very sweet). All-in-one method makes for an easy cake Trail mix is usually made of dried fruit and nuts, and often coconut. Dried coconut is high in saturated fat, so it isn’t the most heart-healthy choice.
