Hazelnuts May Help Reduce Heart Disease

Hazelnuts are high in fiber, thiamin, vitamin B6, vitamin E and minerals such as potassium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, copper and manganese. They are also a source of pantothenic acid, zinc and vitamin (1,2).

And, they may even help to keep your heart healthy! They are high in monounsaturated fat, which may help lower bad cholesterol levels and reduce your risk of heart disease (3).
