Hazelnuts

Hazelnuts, fruit of the hazelnut tree, together with almonds, are among the fruits richest in vitamin E. They also contain phytosterols , substances useful for the prevention of heart and circulatory diseases. They contain good fats, capable of lowering LDL cholesterol levels.

Hazelnuts are a excellent snack to be consumed for breakfast or as a snack, as an alternative to packaged products. In the kitchen they are used for both sweet and savory recipes.

Hazelnuts have been attributed to them since ancient times nutritional, healing and even divinatory properties . Hazelnuts are among the fruits richest in vitamin E: 100 grams of hazelnuts contain approximately 86%. Our body greatly needs the presence of vitamin E as it protects the skin from the harmful effects of ultraviolet rays and premature aging.

According to some studies, regular consumption of hazelnuts (at least 25 g per day, 5 times a week) increases HDL cholesterol levels (the good one) and lowers total cholesterol, LDL, and triglycerides, reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
