Hazelnuts

HAZELNUTS
       Hazelnuts (Forest Nuts) are a very high-calorie product. Their seeds (nuts) are characterized by a fairly high content of certain vitamins, minerals, proteins, but most importantly, unsaturated fatty acids (especially oleic acid) and phytosterols.
     Hazelnuts are richin biotin (100 g contains 156.0% of the daily requirement), alpha-tocopherol (116.7%), vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) (32.3%), vitamin B1 (thiamine) (28.2%), pantothenic acid (19.2%), folic acid (18.3%), vitamin PP (nicotinic acid) (16.9%), gamma-tocopherol (14.3%), vitamin K (phylloquinone) (11.8%), and choline (9.1%).
     The mineral composition is based on: manganese (421.3%), chromium (340.0%), boron (264.3%), vanadium (250.0%), silicon (166.7%), copper (136.3%), cobalt (123.0%), molybdenum (42.4%), magnesium (41.5%), zirconium (40.0%), phosphorus (38.1%), potassium (27.5%), rubidium (27.0%), strontium (25.0%), nickel (23.3%), iron (21.0%), zinc (19.6%), sulfur (19.0%), calcium (12.9%).
      Hazelnuts contain proteins (17.1%), which include essential and non-essential amino acids (20.0% and 17.9% of the daily requirement per 100 g, respectively). Hazelnuts are especially rich in the essential amino acid lysine (62.0%) and the non-essential amino acid arginine (36.4%).
     Hazelnuts are distinguished by their content of unsaturated fatty acids (130.9%), which are dominated by the monounsaturated omega-9 fatty acid oleic acid: 100 g contain 45.409-47.960 g, which is a very high indicator (only olive oil has a higher content – 72 g per 100 g). It is known that oleic acid promotes the dissolution of cholesterol plaques in blood vessels and thus prevents the development of atherosclerosis. Therefore, hazelnuts are a good remedy for the prevention of atherosclerosis.
     Hazelnuts also have a fairly high content of polyunsaturated omega-6 fatty acids (66.7%, namely linoleic acid).
      Hazelnuts are also notable for their phytosterol content (210.9% of the daily norm per 100 g), the majority of which is beta-sitosterol (270.0%), which allows hazelnuts to be classified as a women’s product (for more details, see Avocado).
       Hazelnuts contain fiber (44.0%), small amounts of starch (0.93 g per 100 g), and quite a lot of sucrose (3.35 g).
       The total purine base content in 100 g is 10.0% of the daily norm.
      The oxalic acid content in 100 g is 222 mg, which is 55.5% of the maximum permissible daily intake (for more details, see Rhubarb).
       It should be noted that hazelnuts can accumulate the toxic trace element strontium (25% of the acceptable daily intake in 100 g).
Calorie content per 100 g: 629.0-703.6 kcal
