Almonds Almonds are not only delicious and among the world's most popular nuts, they're also highly nutritious and packed with plenty of healthy fats, antioxidants, minerals and vitamins. They're an excellent source of vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant (one serving providing 37% of the daily amount!) as well as the minerals manganese and magnesium. Most of the antioxidants in almonds are found in the brown skin - one of the reasons why we use whole almonds with their skin and not blanched ones where the skin has been removed! | Brazil Nuts Brazil nuts are the best known source of selenium, an essential vitamin with strong antioxidant properties that reduces inflammation and eliminates free radicals. It is estimated that one billion people worldwide have a selenium deficit! Just one ounce of brazil nuts provides 774% of the recommended daily value (DV)! | Cashews Wo doesn't love cashewsThese nutrient-dense nuts are not only delicious but healthy as they are a good source of protein and provide plenty of essential vitamins like copper, calcium, magnesium, iron, phosphorus, potassium, and zinc. | Hazelnuts Similar to almonds, hazelnuts are an excellent source of vitamin E, one of the many powerful antioxidants they contain. Antioxidants protect our cells from oxidative stress. Most of the antioxidants are found in their skin, which is why we use whole hazelnuts with their skin-on. Hazelnuts are also loaded with healthy monounsaturated fats. |
