*Coupon codes are not valid on case sizes.Quality: Wild Jungle Peanuts are 100% raw, organic with fair
trade growing and harvesting procedures. Wild Amazon Rainforest Peanuts are
harvested by indigenous Shuar people as a sustainable rainforest product. The Jungle Peanuts
unique territory in Ecuador remains one of the richest, most bio-diverse areas
in the entire Amazon.
Allergy Information: This product was manufactured in a facility that uses nuts. Product may contain traces of nut meats.
Origin: The forests of the Amazon, including the southern
area of Ecuador, contain places where wild jungle peanuts have survived undisturbed
for thousands of years. These pristine, untouched conditions have helped give
Wild Jungle Peanuts their beautiful striped color and smooth, rich flavor-qualities
far surpassing anything you'd ever find in mass-grown commercial peanuts.
Benefits: Wild Jungle Peanuts contain over 40% oleic acid-an
oil essential for heart health and smooth, beautiful skin. This oil content
is similar to other nutritionally praised nuts, like almonds. Wild Jungle Peanuts contain 26%
protein- more than virtually any other nut or seed, including flax or
hemp. Wild Jungle Peanuts have a wide array of amino acids, including ALL 8
essential ones. This makes them a great source for amino acids like methionine,
which is hard to find in other plant foods, they also contain arachidonic acid,
a beneficial fatty acid usually found only in meat. Because these are wild and
completely non-hybridized peanuts, they're naturally free of aflatoxin (a toxic
fungus found in all other peanuts). The striped skin of the Wild Jungle is a source of natural antioxidants, such as catechins and procyanidin. Procyanidins, polyphenolic compounds found naturally in green tea,
fruit, vegetables and red wine, have been linked to a wide range of
health benefits, including reduced risks of cardiovascular disease and certain cancers.
Taste: Delicate true peanut taste - simply the best tasting
organic peanuts in the world. Rich peanut flavor and aroma, and a smooth, buttery texture.
Uses: Enjoy right out of the bag, or blend to make your own
raw jungle peanut butter, delicious with raw cacao or chocolate, trail mixes
or other raw vegan snacks, kids love them...these organic peanuts are extremely difficult
to stop eating once you start. Recipes: Love Street's Favorite Living Granola
Important Information:
22 Jan 2009
To our loyal customers,
In
response to recent events, we find it necessary to provide vital
information about our Jungle Peanuts. The peanuts that we sell are
grown and harvested in the jungles of Ecuador. All processing is
completed in Ecuador and the product arrives in sealed, double lined
cases. Due to the origin and processing, our peanuts are in no way
related to the current peanut recall issued by the USFDA on Jan 19,
2009. The aforementioned recall only applies to peanuts produced in
Blakely, Georgia by King Nut and does not affect any products from Love
Street Living Foods.

Storage: We recommend
storing nuts in a glass jar (with an air-tight seal lid) in the
refrigerator.
Soaking raw nuts and seeds
stimulates the process of
germination, which increases the vitamin C, B, and carotenes
(pre-vitamin A)
content. It may also neutralize phytic acid, a substance present in the
bran of
all grains and seeds that can inhibit some absorption of calcium,
magnesium,
iron, copper, and zinc. Raw nuts and seeds also contain enzyme
inhibitors that
are neutralized by germination.
If you choose to soak your
nuts and seeds, please follow these
general guidelines:
- Getting
ready: Use raw,
preferably organic, nuts and seeds. Make enough for three days
only. Use a
glass or stainless steel bowl or jar (plastics may contain toxins).
Rinse
your nuts or seeds (purified or distilled water is generally
preferred).
- Soak
them: Place your nuts and seeds in
in the bowl
or jar and then cover it with something breathable, like a towel or
pantyhose. Let them soak according to the following schedule (all
times
approximate).
- Almonds,
germination time 8 - 12 hours at room temperature
- Cashews, whole,
germination time 2 - 2 1/2 hours at room temperature
- Sesame seeds,
germination time 8 hours at room temperature
- Sunflower seeds,
germination time 2 hours at room temperature
- Walnuts,
germination time 4 hours at room temperature
- All other nuts,
germination time 6-24 hours at room temperature
- Over the course of the
soaking, drain and rinse the nuts or
seeds two (2) or three (3). Each time you do this, make sure you
rinse
them until the water drains clear. This is especially important
with nuts
and seeds that soak for longer amounts of time.
- Afterwards: After you've soaked them,
you may want
to do a final rinse with grapefruit seed extract or organic apple
cider
vinegar, as these can will clean them of bacteria without being
absorbed.
You now have germinated nuts and seeds! You're ready to eat them.
You can
store the leftovers in the refrigerator for up to three (3) days.
If the idea of soaking
your nuts and seeds seems too time-consuming an endeavor for you, don't
worry - many nutrients cannot be heated out of foods, like protein,
vitamin E,
and fiber, which are found in ample quantities inside nuts and seeds of
all
kinds, both cooked and uncooked.
Please Note:
All Sales of Raw Organic Nuts are FINAL. No returns will be accepted.
