Almonds are a popular choice for snacking and for good reason. They have a mild and slightly sweet flavor that pairs well with both savory and sweet dishes. Almonds are rich in healthy fats, fiber, vitamin E, and magnesium, making them a nutritious choice.
Cashews
Cashews have a buttery and creamy taste that makes them a delightful snack option. They are a good source of healthy fats, protein, and minerals like copper and zinc. Cashews can be enjoyed roasted, raw, or even in the form of cashew butter. Add them to stir-fries, blend them into creamy sauces, or simply enjoy them as a satisfying snack.
Pistachios
Pistachios offer a unique combination of flavor and fun. Their slightly sweet and nutty taste is complemented by a satisfying crunch. Pistachios are rich in protein, fiber, and antioxidants. They also contain less fat compared to some other nuts. Enjoy them on their own, sprinkle them over salads or desserts, or use them as a topping for your favorite yogurt.

]]>The research found that people who eat nuts twice per week are 17% less likely to die from such cardiovascular diseases.
According to Dr. Mohammadifard, “nuts are a good source of unsaturated fat and contain little saturated fat. They also have protein, minerals, vitamins, fibre, phytosterols, and polyphenols which benefit heart health.”
“European and US studies have related nuts with cardiovascular protection but there is limited evidence from the Eastern Mediterranean Region,” the doctor told Science Daily.
The study involved 5,432 adult participants aged 35 and older who had no history of cardiovascular disease. The participants came from urban and rural areas of Isfahan, Arak, and Najafabad. The study lasted from 2001 until 2013 and the participants were interviewed every other year regarding their cardiovascular problems.
According to Dr. Mohammadifard, it’s best to eat raw, fresh, unsalted nuts. A good daily portion consists of 30 grams of nuts.
