All About Nuts

Nuts are packed with nutrients and vitamins, especially those that have not undergone heat treatment, salting or sugaring. Nuts contain fats that are essential for growth, healthy skin and hair. The fat in most varieties of nuts is mainly un-saturated. This type of fat is called mono-saturated and is known as a ‘good fat’. Mono-saturated fat does not raise blood pressure or cholesterol levels: these are linked with saturated fat. Nuts have been much talked about and there is a lot of scientific data available. Some scientists believe that certain nuts may protect us against diseases such as cancer. However, research into this theory is ongoing.
