10 Foods High in Saturated Fat
Saturated Fat Rich Food #7: Seeds and Nuts
Nuts are great as a snack on their own and can also be used in numerous ways in cooking. They are also packed full of protein, healthy fats and fibre as well as numerous vitamins and minerals. Even nuts have their dark side though, and unfortunately, they too are high in saturated fat content and need to be eaten in moderation.
One of the biggest culprits is Brazil nuts, which have around 15% saturated fat content. Pine nuts contain around 10% and even sesame seeds contain around 9% saturated fats. While they are quite good for you in moderation, many seeds and nuts can really be quite unhealthy if you overdo it.
