7 Reasons To Eat NuttZo Original

 Organic Valencia Peanuts - Peanuts are rich in nutrients, providing over 30 essential nutrients and phytonutrients. Peanuts are a good source of niacin, folate, fiber, magnesium, vitamin E, manganese and phosphorus. They also are naturally free of trans-fats and sodium, and contain about 25% protein (a higher proportion than in any true nut).

While peanuts are considered high in fat, they primarily contain “good” fats also known as unsaturated fats. One serving of peanuts contains 11.5 g unsaturated fat and 2 g of saturated fat. In fact, peanuts have been linked well enough to their heart-healthy benefits. In 2003, the Food and Drug Administration released a health claim recognizing peanuts in helping maintain one’s cholesterol:

Scientific evidence suggests, but does not prove, that eating 1.5 ounces per day of most nuts, including peanuts as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease.

Organic Flaxseed – contains lignans that have anti-viral, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-cancer properties. Flaxseeds have the richest source of lignans, 100 times more than the next best source, wheat bran. The majority of lignans are found in the seed, giving it an advantage over flax oil. Flaxseed also contains lecithin, which emulsifies fat and cholesterol. These little seeds improve digestion, help stabilize blood glucose levels, fight tumor formation and enhance cardiovascular health.

Organic Hazelnut pieces – nutritional powerhouses, exhibiting the highest folate content of any tree nut. This essential nutrient, also known as Vitamin B9, has been studied for its positive effect on the cardiovascular system, and it is especially important for pregnant women in helping to reduce the incidence of neural tube birth defects. Hazelnuts also have the highest proanthocyanidin content among all tree nuts. These healing compounds concentrated in plants have been studied for their ability to reduce blood clotting, and together with the high folate content may provide a powerful boost to our cardiovascular health. In addition, proanthocyanidins help to lower the risk of urinary tract infections.

Organic Cashews - high in magnesium and manganese, and are a good source of selenium and zinc. The magnseium in cashews works to strengthen the digestion and improve flexibility, while manganese and selenium work together to rid the body of harmful oxidized cholesterol.

Organic Almonds - a boost of protein and a helpful dose of the antioxidant Vitamin E! Almonds are one of nature’s most perfect foods, offering high levels of magnesium as well as good amounts of potassium, calcium, and fiber.

Oragnic Brazil Nuts – best known for being the number one plant source of the mineral selenium, exhibiting approximately2,500 times as much of this vital trace mineral as any other nut. Selenium is a powerful antioxidant which has been proven to protect the body against infection, and this essential trace mineral has also been studied for its benefits to male fertility. Brazil nuts also contain sulfur-bearing amino acids (methionine and cysteine), giving them strength-building, liver-supporting, and tissue repair properties.

Organic Sunflower Seeds – In addition to linoleic acid (an essential fatty acid), sunflower seeds are also an excellent soure of dietary fiber, some amino acids(espeially typtophan), Vitamin E, BVitamins (specially vitamin B1 or thiamine, vitamin B5 or pantothenic acid and folate), and minerals such as copper, mangnese, potassium, magnesium, iron, phosphorus, selenium, calcium and zinc.  Additionally, they are rich in cholesterol-lowering phytosterols.
