Nuts, Let's Understand Their Benefits Properly Before Eating!

Nuts, Consume with More Caution Than Expected

As a child, I did not prefer nuts. Actually, I disliked them (haha). I especially really disliked walnuts, even though I often heard that "eating a lot of walnuts makes you smarter." Would I be different now if I had eaten a lot back then? Just as there are various types of nuts with different tastes, their benefits also vary. So here is a collection of nut benefits.zip. From today, let's enjoy nuts in a healthier way!

Almonds

Almonds are a nut loved by many as a snack. They are especially low in carbohydrates and gluten-free, making them a main ingredient in baking items like macarons. They are often used as a substitute to reduce flour allergy reactions. Almonds are high in unsaturated fatty acids and vitamin E. They are also rich in iron and calcium, making them good for growing children.

Walnuts

As mentioned earlier, walnuts are said to make you smarter because their shape resembles the brain. Walnuts are one of the low-carb, high-fat foods. Per 100g, they contain 65g of fat, 10g of carbohydrates, 15g of protein, and 6g of dietary fiber. Due to their high calorie content by weight, they are good snacks for activities requiring a lot of energy, such as hiking, running, or mountain climbing.

Pistachios

Pistachios are rich in healthy fatty acids and protein, and moderate consumption can help with dieting because they provide a feeling of fullness even in small amounts. Additionally, they are high in vitamin B6, which helps prevent cancer.

Peanuts

Peanuts are usually roasted but can also be boiled. They have a high calorie content of 550kcal per 100g. Due to their high fat content, excessive consumption can cause severe diarrhea, so it is important to consume them in moderation. Peanuts also contain protein, vitamin E, and magnesium. They are rich in folic acid, making them good for pregnant women.

Cashews

Cashews consist of 40% fat by weight, so caution is needed when consuming them. If you are careful about this, they are well-balanced with carbohydrates, vitamins, and fiber, making them good as a meal substitute. A major advantage is that they contain no cholesterol.
