Cashews in desserts: good, bad, uncertain?

As you probably already know we use cashews as one of the ingredients in our cashew + chia puddings, and it is important to know pros and cons of this nut when deciding if you want to eat it. Let’s start with positive effects that come with cashew consumption:

Heart health ❤️
Gallstones 🤢
Central nervous system 🧠

Multiple studies were done to explore the effects of nuts and cashews on heart and cardiovascular system overall. The results of these studies prove that daily cashew consumption reduces total and LDL cholesterol. Moreover, several other studies of coronary heart disease and nut consumption found evidence of 37% lower chance of having coronary heart disease for those who eat nuts more than four times a week vs who never or rarely eat nuts.

As for gallstones, in general terms is a stone formed within the gallbladder that may be very painful in some cases. The interesting part is that the study from 2004 found that women who eat nuts frequently have lower risk of cholecystectomy (operation to remove the gallbladder).

Finally, Oregon State University published a research about micronutrients, where they checked how much copper different products have and outlined which organs and body functions require copper or it’s sub-products. Interestingly enough, one ounce of cashews contains 622 micrograms of coper and “a number of reactions essential to normal function of the brain and nervous system are catalyzed by cuproenzymes”.

Now that we know the benefits, it’s important to mention detrimental effects that cashew nuts might have. Some people have severe allergies on cashew nut. For those who have allergies eating a cashew nut may trigger symptoms like itchy mouth and throat, difficulty swallowing, runny nose, shortness of breath nausea, anaphylaxis or other symptoms. So, it is important to know if you have an allergy on cashew before consuming it!

Sustainable business and what it means to JARCO

At JARCO we decided to take sustainability as one of the pillars of our business, because it is aligned with our (founders) personal values. We care about our planet and life on it. Thus it is important for us to make sure we minimize the amount of damage to environment from our business and help make population of the this planet healthier!

So what do we do to make our business sustainable? Here are some facts:

We reuse jars from jar desserts (return jar for a refund of $0.25) ♻️
All our packaging is made of biodegradable materials (no plastic) 🌳
We also minimize the use of plastic in our operations 👩‍🍳
All our products and ingredients are healthy 🏃🏻‍♀️
We continuously expand this list to lead the sustainability charge 🌱

Each of the values above are the basses of our business that can never be neglected. Each of these rules has a purpose. One example of taking a long road to avoid using plastic is our banner at . Instead of printing it on vinyl, that is cheaper, less labour intensive and is so much faster, we drew it manually on a cotton cloth (biodegradable)!

Certainly it’s not a full list of things we do to be sustainable, final and very important one is making a product that is healthy. Using more expensive ingredients to ensure products are good for your body is a key. We understand that one of the most important aspects of sustainability is to care about everything alive, including you!

June and July are months of strawberries in Ontario and we are extremely happy to announce that at JARCO we only use berries from local farms for our strawberry desserts during this period. There are many benefits to using local ingredients and all of them are focused on one important benefit: it is much healthier!

Here are some of the benefits that come with using locally grown ingredients:

🍓 They are ripe and taste so much better!
🍓 Strawberries are fresher and have more vitamins.
🍓 JARCO desserts look much prettier with local strawberries.
Let’s elaborate a little on each of the points above. For one, the fruits and berries that are delivered to Ontario from other countries (i.e. US, Mexico etc.) are usually picked unripe. Because they can be stored longer and are easier to handle in terms of transportation, they are more firm and don’t get damaged or smashed as easily. With local fruits and berries, there is no need to ship them far, we pick them ourselves at local Ontario farms in Waterloo region. This way, we can get them ripe and cook the best tasting desserts the whole summer long!

What about freshness and vitamins? Well, the longer strawberries stay at the sun and the redder they get, the more vitamins they accumulate. Ripe berries contain more vitamins than unripe ones. Also, they get picked the same day we at JARCO prepare the desserts, so there is no way to get fresher ingredients!

Finally, our philosophy at JARCO is to make the healthiest possible desserts and we do not add anything artificial. So the colour of our desserts might vary depending on the ripeness of berries. And for the last few weeks, while we are using local strawberries, our desserts look incredibly pretty. The colour is so rich and it is all natural!

Our desserts are perishable, because it’s good for you!

At JARCO we take pride in making healthy vegan desserts that taste great. But what does it mean for dessert to be healthy? Usually it encompasses using fresh and good quality ingredients, as well as following all health and regulation rules when preparing them.

However, even with all these steps taken into consideration the degree of healthiness varies a lot.

Most businesses are putting emphasis on preparing deserts that can be stored longer, because it’s less risky. If nobody buys it this week, they can store it for another few weeks and sell it later. Good, right? Well, not really. To increase storage life of the product they would have to add preservatives or keep it frozen. Though, in both cases there is a sacrifice. If you add preservatives, such as:

Lot’s of sugar 👎
Lot’s of salt 👎
Nitrites (nitrates and nitrosamines) 👎
Butylated Hydroxyanisole 320 (BHA) and Butylated Hydroxytoluene 321 (BHT) 👎
Sulfites 👎
Sodium Benzoate, Potassium Benzoate and Benzene 👎

desserts become unhealthy.

At JARCO, we don’t do that! Our goal is to make your life healthier and that is why we don’t add preservatives to our desserts. We also cook them at the day we receive an order, so it’s always fresh and you can feel it when you eat it. Freezing is another option, but it doesn’t work for many desserts if you want them to taste fresh.

As a result, storage life is relatively short, but it’s worth it!

Live healthy life and enjoy tasty fresh vegan desserts with JARCO!
