10 Best Keto Nuts
Keto Nut #5: Hazelnuts
Many of us may know hazelnuts as the key ingredient in Nutella. Unfortunately, due to the added sugars and high carbohydrate amount, Nutella is not a ketogenic friendly food. However, raw or roasted hazelnuts are. Hazelnuts only contain 2.3 grams of carbohydrates per oz. In addition, they contain 17 grams of fat and 4 grams of protein.
Moreover, there are several health benefits from consuming hazelnuts. In one review, which evaluated 385 scientific papers, a diet rich in hazelnuts was linked to lowering cholesterol levels and, more specifically, LDL levels. LDL transfers cholesterol from the liver to the tissues. A low LDL cholesterol level is linked to improved cardiovascular health.
