Not just good


Nuts and all semi-finished products which we transform, in particular the Nebrodi hazelnuts, have particular nutritional and beneficial properties for the body. Our goal is just to combine the pleasure of food with its health effects.

Healthy and enjoyable nutrition


Nuts are a basic food in a healthy and balanced Mediterranean diet, which provides numerous positive effects on health. Thanks to the various components with antioxidant and protective action, the daily consumption of nuts has effects on the general psycho-physical well-being.

Benefits


The health benefits of nuts are multiple. They are linked to the presence in the lipid fraction of compounds capable of carrying out a protective action, such as monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids, such as oleic and linoleic acids; both help reduce bad cholesterol (LDL) and promote the increase of good cholesterol (HDL). Hazelnuts in particular, but also all nuts, are rich in minerals and trace minerals such as potassium, phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc and selenium. In addition, they present an important source of both water-soluble vitamins, represented by vitamins of group B: B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B8, folate (folic acid) and vitamin C, but above all fat-soluble, such as vitamin A and vitamin E (tocopherol) with very high antioxidant power. All nuts and espescially hazelnuts have plant compounds, carotenoids, flavonoids and proanthocyanidins that play an important role in reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease, cancer and chronic diseases. In fact, among nuts, hazelnuts certainly have the highest content of proanthocyanidins. Finally, the content of proteins and also of fibers, which bring balance to the intestinal microflora, should not be underestimated.
