The healing power of hazelnut
-
In the autumn you can pick up hazelnuts from the ground in the forest so that you have a supply for the whole winter, spring and summer. You not only pick up a tasty snack, but also many vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients. The hazelnut is one of the healthiest nuts that grow on planet Earth.
Rich in vitamins
-
Hazelnuts contain a lot of vitamins from the B complex. It contains B1, B2, B3, B5, B6 and B11. It also contains vitamins C, E and K. Relatively speaking, the hazelnut contains the most vitamin E. 100 grams of hazelnuts is enough for 100% of the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA)
Packed with minerals
-
The RDA percentages for the minerals manganese (268%) and copper (192%) are very spectacular. These values also apply to 100 grams of hazelnuts. Incidentally, it is not bad to eat too many minerals than the RDA. You will not reach the maximum upper limit by any means, as long as you eat varied. For copper, it is in so many foods that you hardly ever have a shortage of it. Other minerals that are common in hazelnuts are: calcium (11% of the RDI), iron (59%), magnesium (41%), phosphorus (41%) and zinc (22%). You can conclude from this that hazelnut is a super healthy nut

Natural source of linoleic acid
-
Together with walnuts, pecans, almonds and pistachios, the hazelnut belongs in the top 5 of healthiest nuts. Hazelnuts contain linoleic acid, among other things. That is the substance that Unilever puts in fake butter to give it a healthy touch. The big difference, however, is that the natural linoleic acid is much healthier than the synthesized linoleic acid
Hazelnut Oil
-
Hazelnut is also an oil that is great for baking. This oil also helps against dry skin. Hazelnut oil is also used in aromatherapy. Hazelnut oil is a good oil that lowers the so-called bad LDL cholesterol. It should be noted that there is a large group of scientists who report that LDL cholesterol is not bad at all and that the drugs against it are worse. It is a myth that cholesterol leads to cardiovascular disease, with near certainty. This myth is being perpetuated by companies such as Unilever and Bayer that make a lot of money from people's fear of a heart attack. Sound scientific research has never been able to demonstrate a link between cholesterol and cardiovascular disease. Of course it is true that oxidized cholesterol on the blood vessel walls causes arteriosclerosis, but the cause of this has nothing to do with the cholesterol itself, rather with a deficiency in the diet of antioxidants. Cholesterol is a necessary substance in the body but oxidized cholesterol
Healing Power of Phytonutrients
-
Hazelnuts are an excellent food for the brain because they contain magnesium and Proanthocyanidins. This antioxidant is also found in cocoa, grape juice, black tea and green tea. Proanthocyanidin can break through the blood-brain barrier, so that the tiny blood vessels in the brain are also supplied with this substance. Like all phytonutrients, this substance also has several medicinal sides. It also helps with menstrual complaints, it helps prevent colon cancer, and it is an antioxidant that works 20 times as strong as vitamin C. Antioxidants
