Hazelnuts for your Health: A handful of hazelnuts can do you good!
Hazelnuts are heart-healthy. Consuming just 1.5 ounces of hazelnuts per day may
help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, according to the FDA*.
Hazelnuts are #1 among tree nuts in Folate content with 8% of your DV per
serving. Healthful diets with adequate folate have been linked to a decreased
risk of neural tube birth defects and may help to reduce the risk of
cardiovascular disease and depression.
Hazelnuts have the highest proanthocyanidin content of any tree nut. These
compounds are known for contributing astringent flavor to foods and may help
reduce the risk of blood clotting and urinary tract infections.
Hazelnuts provide dietary fiber. An ounce of raw hazelnuts has 2.7 grams of
dietary fiber. Dietary fiber is a cholesterol-lowering nutrient and may prevent
constipation because of its laxative effect, according to the 2010 Dietary
Guidelines from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
Healthy adults on a 2,000-calorie diet should aim for at least 28 grams of
dietary fiber.
Hazelnuts are particularly high in two minerals: manganese and copper. One
serving of hazelnuts supplies 65 percent of the Daily Recommended Intake (DRI)
for copper and more than 90 percent of the DRI for manganese. Copper is needed
for iron absorption and manganese is necessary for bone formation.
Scientific evidence suggests but does not prove that eating 1.5 ounces per day
of most nuts such as hazelnuts as part of a diet low in saturated fat and
cholesterol may reduce the risk of heart disease.
