Hazelnuts

Hazelnuts are native to the UK and well-known for their sweet taste and crumbly texture. They are the perfect addition to baking and delicious to eat raw. They are also incredible in savoury dishes such as salad, pasta, and stuffing.

Hazelnuts don’t just taste great - they are anti-inflammatory, improve digestion, decrease blood sugar and improve heart health. They contain vitamin B6, folate, magnesium and healthy fats.

Nutritional benefits of hazelnuts

Hazelnuts are lovely to eat, but it doesn’t stop there. They are rich in multiple vitamins and minerals.

Bursting with B6 - B6 contributes to brain development and is a vital vitamin to balance your nervous system and boost immunity.

Abundant in folate - Folate (or B9) improves cell turnover for youthful skin and faster hair growth. A form of folate is folic acid, which helps cell development, making it essential for healthy development during pregnancy (always consult your doctor for nutritional advice when pregnant).

Packed with magnesium- Magnesium contributes to healthy sleep, muscles and nerves. Without enough magnesium, you are at risk of type 2 diabetes, headaches and sleep issues (to name a few). So, including a handful of hazelnuts a day keeps the doctor away.

Rich in healthy fats - Healthy fats minimise inflammation, protect collagen and contribute to a great-working heart, liver and kidneys.

Good source of protein - With 14 grams of protein in just 100 grams of hazelnuts, eating them daily increases your protein intake.
