We begin with organic raw hazelnuts. We add organic sesame seeds, Living Tree Black Sesame Oil, organic Brazilian Honey and a dash of Himalayan Pink Crystal Salt.
Rich in Antioxidants & Disease-Fighting Nutrients Not only are hazelnuts a high-quality source of protein and fiber, they also contain a variety of antioxidants such as vitamin E and a host of phytonutrients that benefit the immune system. Hazelnuts are a rich source of nutrients that have cardioprotective benefits. These nutrients include arginine, an amino acid that relaxes blood vessels, folate and heart healthy B vitamins. In fact, hazelnuts have the highest concentration of folate among tree nuts. Folate reduces the risk of neural tube birth defects, and may help to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, certain cancers, Alzheimer¹s disease and depression. Hazelnuts also contain the blood pressure-lowering minerals calcium, magnesium and potassium. Additional research linking nuts to reduced cancer risk has also shown that the amino acid arginine may inhibit tumor growth and boost immunity.
Smart Source of Energy & Healthy Fats An excellent source of energy and a good provider of unsaturated fats or ³good fats.² Numerous studies have shown unsaturated fats can lower blood cholesterol and help decrease the risk of cardiovascular disease. Hazelnuts are one of the best nut sources of heart healthy monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) per serving, and hazelnuts have the lowest percentage of saturated fat (along with pinenuts and almonds). Other fats in nuts known as phytosterols actually mimic cholesterol and block food-based cholesterol from being absorbed into the blood stream, lowering LDL cholesterol and further decreasing the risk of cardiovascular disease.
