Why are nuts such a good snack?

Ok, so even though Nibble N Often has a huge variety of snacks loadddddsss of people are purchasing nuts from our website. So I thought I’d go into detail about how amazing nuts as snacks. 

1. They are high in antioxidants 
2. May lower cholesterol 
3. Nuts have strong anti-inflammatory properties, therefore they may reduce inflammation 
4. High in beneficial fibre, fibre helps to relieve constipation, maintain a healthy weight and lower your risk of diabetes.
5. Nuts have a high fat content, so are high in energy, therefore, only have a handful at a time. However, nuts like Brazil nuts, Macadamia nuts and cashews are high in saturated fats which can contribute to a higher cholesterol, so only eat them occasionally. 
6. Try to avoid dry-roasted, salted, flavoured or honey-roasted nuts, which come with extra salt and sometimes sugar too. If you’re at a party, remember that nuts are often salted, which may make you feel thirsty and encourage you to consume more alcohol.
7. We sell plain nuts  and they are healthier, but they don’t have to be boring. Dry frying or toasting nuts in the oven gives them a stronger flavour – particularly for almonds, hazelnuts and pecans
