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. C O'B (one of many customers who received trees, advice, consultation and/or personal support from our beloved Ándi). Foods rich in protein can be more filling to eat than foods high in carbohydrateor fat, which might be helpful if you are trying to lose weight, but ‘high protein’ does not necessarily mean it is healthier. To date, the nursery has provided technical assistance in the establishment of a number of commercial-scale cobnut orchards (nine of which involve 400+ trees) and one walnut orchard of approximately 200 trees. To the best of our knowledge these are the largest nut orchards ever to be planted in Ireland. Fruit and Nut is the only organisation in Ireland with technical expertise of nut orchard establishment. Over the next 2-6 years we will be introducing further refinements to the production process - including the implementaton of organic methods from year zero - which will lead to even stronger and healthier trees.Avoid chocolate-dipped or yoghurt-coated varieties (yoghurt coatings usually contain added ingredients like palm oil and sugar, which aren’t in actual yoghurt) or ones containing salted caramel, marshmallows, chocolate chips or coconut. Some bars have more calories than a Mars bar. 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.

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. 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. You can make this recipe simply with things you already have in your kitchen but here are the things we use in case there’s something you don’t already have: Mixed nuts are a great source of protein as well as containing lots of fibre which is important for supporting a healthy digestive system and maintaining normal bowel function.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. They are quite filling so can be good if you are hungry and it’s a long time until your next meal, or if you’re doing something active.

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. 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 Figs: Figs are high in potassium and you can choose from 100% organic figs, diced figs and Lerida figs at Holland & Barrett. Figs have a naturally sugary powder coating created by the fruit’s natural sugars to quench those sweet cravings and they are also great for using in lots of different recipes when you are next cooking and baking. The beauty of this cake is that you can use whatever dried fruit you have, add nuts and cherries - anything you like or have. The only thing you have to remember is to keep the total weight to 400g (14oz). Secret IngredientWhatever 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? We have received many lovely messages of support and condolences from friends and customers of Ándi from all over Ireland. As an example of all those message we would like to give one example, as we feel it is apt and representative of many of these reactions to the untimely passing of our dear son, brother, (close) friend and colleague, Ándi Wilson:

The first trees produced under the new regime - which is fully organic from year 1 - reached saleable age this season (2019/20) and by next season all our cobnut trees will be produced this way For example, try adding them to cereal, yogurts, salads and pasta dishes for a bit of extra crunch, flavour and texture. We look at the global warming and the changing global climate. The melting of the Arctic sea ice and the Greenland icecap, the thawing of the permafrost and the frozen methane deposits under the East Siberian Sea: events that on a human timescale are permanent - non-reversible - and that will have climate ramifications far beyond the Arctic. The growing likelihood of ecological catastrophe.Nuts and dried fruits also contain lots of the essential vitamins and minerals our bodies need to stay healthy. Yes it is, BUT cakes can turn out dry for a number of reasons, mostly to do with the bake time and temperature. Unfortunately what the thermostat says may not be accurate!
