Healthy Nut #8: Hazelnut
Hazelnuts have been popular in paste form or as an ingredient to healthy dishes. Nutella has been a popular hazelnut spread that can be added to just about anything. However, products like those have added ingredients and sugars. Hazelnuts that are roasted and eaten provide many health benefits.
Hazelnuts contain a great amount of manganese, copper, vitamin E, and antioxidants. Consuming hazelnuts promotes heart health, helps manage diabetes, boosts the brain, and helps prevent cancer. Manganese has been shown to prevent and treat diseases of the brain such as Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s. Consuming hazelnuts that are high in manganese is important for brain function.
