Raw, freshly cracked nuts are a superfood!
An excellent snack food, nutritionally they are packed with goodness and the vitamins and minerals our body needs to keep healthy. Studies show that eating 25-30gms of nuts a day protects heart and vascular systems and improves cholestrol levels.
Because they orginate from a plant source, walnuts and hazelnuts are cholesterol free.
Although it may sound contrary to popular perceptions, the fact is everyone needs to intake fat. It gives us energy and makes food taste good. However, its the type of fat that makes the difference.
Hazelnuts are loaded with heart-healthy monounsaturated fatty acids with vitamin E, an important antioxidant.
Walnuts are an excellent source of protective fatty acids and vitamins. They contain Omega 3, an essential fatty acid that your body cannot manufacture and must come from your diet.
We support The New Zealand Heart Foundation Heart tick, showing our commitment to giving you healthy, natural goodness.
