Nuts

Common types of nuts include almonds, walnuts, cashews, pistachios, hazelnuts, pecans, Brazil nuts, and macadamia nuts. Each provides a unique mix of healthy fats, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.

Peanuts, almonds, and pistachios are among the highest-protein nuts. They make excellent snacks for supporting muscle health, keeping you full, and adding protein to your diet.

Nuts are high in healthy fats and calories, but they are not inherently fattening when eaten in moderation. Their protein and fibre content can help keep you satisfied and support healthy weight management.

Brazil nuts are an excellent source of selenium, a mineral that supports immune function, thyroid health, and protects cells from oxidative stress. Just one or two nuts a day can provide your daily selenium needs.

A daily serving of about 30g (a small handful) is generally recommended. This amount provides beneficial nutrients while helping to keep calorie intake balanced.
