Autumn is here – time to refill those vitamin stores!
As soon as the colder weather sets in, we start preparing our bodies to stay strong and resilient through the autumn and winter months.
Instead of relying on artificial vitamin supplements, we can do a lot for our immune system through mindful eating. Mendula products made from high-quality ingredients enhance any meal—making your diet not only insanely delicious but also more nourishing and healthier. Let’s take a look at the amazing qualities of Mendula nut butters, granolas, and bars, and why they are worth including in your daily routine.
Natural sources of energy
The human body can derive energy from many sources, including fats and carbohydrates, but one of the most essential building blocks of living cells is protein. Proteins play diverse roles—forming muscles, hormones, hair, and structural tissues, and contributing to the immune system. While meat is the most well-known protein source, more and more people are turning to vegetarian or fully vegan diets. For them, oilseeds are a great alternative to animal-based proteins. Naturally, these delicious plant-based sources of energy can benefit everyone.
Nut butters packed with protein and healthy fats
One of the superpowers of oilseeds is their high protein content. They also contain 40–60% fat—mostly healthy, unsaturated fatty acids. The polyunsaturated Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids are particularly good for the cardiovascular system and can reduce cholesterol levels. Their vitamin E content supports brain and nervous system function.
At Mendula, we produce nut butters from nearly all the popular oilseeds in Hungary: peanuts, almonds, hazelnuts, cashews, and soon pistachios. Our plain nut butters are 100% pure—containing only nuts, without any palm oil, additives, coloring, or flavoring.
Even our flavored nut butters have exceptionally high nut content—ranging from 78% to 99%. The added flavors are always premium quality ingredients such as spices, coconut sugar, acacia honey, and Belgian cocoa powder.
Fun fact: the ideal ratio of Omega-3 to Omega-6 fatty acids is between 1:3 and 1:5. Among Mendula nut butters, the pistachio and peanut butters have the most favorable ratio of these essential fatty acids.
