Whole Fats are the Healthiest Fats
The healthiest fats are always in their “whole” and unprocessed form such as raw nuts, raw seeds, olives and avocados. This means if you had to choose between eating an olive or olive oil, the healthiest choice would be the raw naked olive. The “whole” olive will have more nutrients than the oil, especially because most oils are not processed properly (this is particularly true of the omega-6 rich oils such as soybean oil and canola oil that are ubiquitous in bottled salad dressings.) Clean Cuisine Salad Boosters contain healthy “whole” fats from raw nuts and seeds. And, because the raw nuts and seeds are ground into small crumbs (as shown in the photo above), they can be sprinkled over your salad so that you get a bit in every salad bite. If you simply add a few whole walnuts or almonds to your salad you might get the health benefits but you won’t get the same taste satisfaction you would get if the nuts were ground into crumbs. Sprinkle a few tablespoons of the Salad Booster and just a drizzle of high quality cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil on top of your salad and you’ll have an amazingly healthy and super tasty salad in seconds!Superfood Salad Boosters are Not Just for Salads…

It may have bee a long time ago or an urban myth but I thought we weren't supposed to eat pine nuts because they mostly came from China and weren't real or good for us or something?

I believe that's an urban myth -- this is a great resource to check the sourcing of pine nuts! https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/nut-trees/pine-nut/pine-nut-harvesting.htm
