Everything you need to know about dietary fiber (Wala system!)
Nuts have long been considered a super food thanks to the important nutrients they contain.
Quite a few studies that have been conducted have found that they help with weight loss, heart health, improving fertility and more.
In addition, it is a tasty snack, easy to eat on the go, and a good source of plant protein, especially for those who eat little or no animal products.
Eating nuts can help you meet your needs for protein, which is needed to build bones, muscles and skin.
Protein also increases the feeling of fullness, and will help you stay satisfied and full of energy.
All nuts contain protein, some provide more than others.
Here are the five most prominent of them:
tonsils
Almonds are indeed a seed, but they are almost automatically associated with the nut family, and they contain the highest amount of protein in this family.
Almonds are also loaded with antioxidants - plant compounds that protect the body from oxidative stress caused by free radicals, which can cause aging, heart disease and some types of cancer.
By the way, the skin that surrounds almonds contains the highest concentration of antioxidants, so it is best to eat unpeeled almonds to reap their health benefits.
Not just any nut.

Walnuts
Walnuts are considered the healthiest of the nut family because they contain the highest amount of antioxidants.
In addition, they also contain a large amount of protein, vitamins, minerals, dietary fiber, essential fatty acids and a large amount of omega 3. Walnuts do contain quite a few calories, but the fat in them is considered a healthy fat, which even helps to reduce weight and contributes to the feeling of satiety.
Their fatty texture and mouthfeel make these nuts an excellent addition to plant-based meat substitutes - which can increase their protein content.

But not only.

Pistachios
Nuts such as almonds, pecans and walnuts are usually high in calories, but among these nuts, pistachios contain a relatively low amount of calories (560 calories compared to 730 in pecans for example).
The protein makes up 20 percent of the weight, and pistachios are second only to almonds in having the most protein in the entire nut family.
Pistachios also have a fair amount of essential amino acids.

cashew
If you ask us, they are the tastiest of all, but miraculously, cashews contain fewer calories than most other nuts (553 calories per 100 grams).
They are also rich in minerals such as iron, magnesium, phosphorus, zinc, calcium and potassium and contain relatively high percentages of protein.

peanuts
Peanuts are a good source of protein, fiber and a variety of important vitamins and minerals, including potassium, magnesium and folic acid.
The amount of protein in them is a similar amount to chicken, meat or cheese products.
Peanuts also contain a substance called resveratrol that helps prevent blood vessel constriction and blood clots and may be used in our body as an antioxidant that helps protect against accelerated aging processes.
