Vitamin E, thiamine and vitamin B6 abound in hazelnuts, assisting your body in achieving optimum health by helping form red blood cells, muscles and other tissues, enhancing energy and promoting normal appetite and aiding protein metabolism and absorption.
These nuts are also relatively good sources of protein, dietary fibre, iron, calcium and potassium.
Hazelnuts are lower in fat to most other nuts and the big bonus is that they contain no cholesterol.
Like other varieties of nuts, hazelnuts also contain significant amounts of phytochemicals, antioxidants that protect the body against several types of cancer.
