Was there any doubt? Actually, it is a food that we can (and almost should) consume all year round. Whether it’s ice cream for catering or for home consumption, it’s good to have on hand. In the offers of frozen products that we have available this August in Apolo stores (for wholesalers, the price is different) and that you can see below, we have Cristallo candy bars and Cristallo Tornadoes, as well as the three-tastes bar of Helados Casty. In addition to this, there are other offers on raw shrimpfrozen clean squid, frozen clean squidfrozen hake slicesetc.
We already told you about the ice cream brand Casty in another post, so no need for introductions. They have more than 30 years of experience and come from Talavera de la Reina, and they do not stop growing in their sales and exports. Part of their secret comes from their machinery, the most advanced in the market, and the quality of their ingredients. You can see what the factory is like and the amount of ice cream they make in this video:
10 reasons to eat ice cream
1. Because in summer it is hot, and we need to hydrate and refresh ourselves, and it is the tastiest way to do it. Popsicles or sorbets are mainly made with water, so they are especially hydrating. Dairy ice creams are also more nutritious.
2. They are not as fattening as we think. We repeat: they are not as fattening as we think. And a Harvard University study says so: ice cream helps you lose weight. It also strengthens bones, regulates blood pressure, soothes menstrual cramps, prevents kidney stones and invigorates the immune system. Nothing less!
3. If they are homemade, they are good for diabetics, because they are low in fat and the absorption of sugar in the body is delayed.
4. They are stress relievers. You will have seen thousands of scenes in series and movies in which a character with anxiety gives himself completely to a tub of ice cream to let off steam. Because they contain ingredients such as chocolate or sugars, they generate endorphins. From there to binge eating ice cream there is a difference, of course…
5. They have calcium. Its relationship with calcium -in those made with milk or dairy products- is clear, because its consumption can be an alternative to milk or milkshakes. Good for bones, therefore.
6. They are the ideal snack, because they also contain vitamin B2 and proteins.
7. In Spain we need to consume more! Right now we are around six liters per capita per year, which is much less than in the United States, where they are around 23 liters per capita per year (there they go a little overboard).
8. And they can be consumed in winter without any problem. According to the aforementioned Harvard study, they do not damage the throat and help to heal and reduce inflammation of the tonsils.
9. With ice cream there is less anger. According to the University of Maryland, in addition to reducing stress, they take away the bad mood, by the production of serotonin. This also has to do with the “emotional appetite”, that is, the preferences we have for one or another food depending on our mood.
10. Because they are one of the richest inventions mankind has ever made, and few people would argue with that…
