Let’s talk about the benefits of this cute rounded nut 😛 High in Fibre, Magnesium and Potassium. Ok, other nuts are also high in minerals.

Yes they are higher in calories compared to same amount of carbs but the advantage lies in the low spike in your insulin when you consume fat. Relieve Inflammation: Good source of Alpha-linolenic acid ( type of omega-3 fatty acid). Omega-6 fatty acid is low in these nuts, which is a great news. The majority of nuts have a high dose of omega-6 compared to omega-3 such as almonds and walnuts. Consuming a little more than your daily allowance of omega-6 can cause of omega-6 inflammation (not risky if you are healthy active individual but still not desirable.
