FMU The Daily Wellthy: Go nutty

Screen Shot 2016-06-09 at 8.39.31 AM

 

A walnut is the nut of any tree of the genus Juglans, particularly the Persian or English walnut, Juglans regia. Technically a walnut is the seed of a drupe or drupaceous nut, and thus not a true botanical nut.

FMU The Daily Wellthy: Chem-K19

Screen Shot 2015-01-15 at 9.41.17 PM

Potassium is a mineral – chemical element with symbol K and atomic number 19. It was first isolated from potash, the ashes of plants, from which its name derives. In the Periodic table, potassium is one of seven elements in column 1.

Most people get all the potassium they need from what they eat and drink. Sources of potassium in the diet include

  • Leafy greens, such as spinach and collards
  • Fruit from vines, such as grapes and blackberries
  • Root vegetables, such as carrots and potatoes
  • Citrus fruits, such as oranges and grapefruit

The banana is an edible fruit, botanically a berry, produced by several kinds of large herbaceous, flowering plants in the genus Musa. In some countries, bananas used for cooking may be called plantains. Excellent source of Potassium … simply wellthy!!!
