Why Almonds, Hazelnuts, Peanuts Should be Staples in Your Kitchen

Why Almonds, Hazelnuts, and Peanuts Should be a Staple in Your Kitchen

"Nature's perfect little package, nuts are a powerhouse of nutrition and flavor
that remind us that good things come in small sizes."

As we journey through the path of health and wellness, paying close attention to the foods that we put in our bodies is essential. Today we will focus on the world of nuts, exploring the numerous benefits that these mighty superfoods have to offer us.

Almonds

Let’s start with the star of our Almond Chocolate bars: almonds of course. Almonds are native to the Middle East and South Asia, and were prized by ancient civilizations like the Greeks, Egyptians, and Romans, who used to shower newlyweds with them a symbol of future prosperity and happiness.

Nowadays, almonds are used in a variety of foods such as almond butter, almond milk, flour, marzipan and almond butter. They are a rich source of protein, fiber, healthy fats, and essential vitamins and minerals, including vitamin E, magnesium, and calcium.

With so many amazing benefits, how could we not include almonds in our superfoods range? You can find 45% of almonds in our indulgent Almond Chocolate bars.

Hazelnuts

Moving on to hazelnuts, also known as 'filberts'. These delicious nuts are the fruit of the hazel tree and originate from Asia. They were cultivated by ancient Greeks and Romans, and in Medieval Europe they were associated with wisdom: they were believed to have magical properties that could ward off evil spirits. While it might not be very likely that they do ward off spirits, we do think they have some magical nutritional properties. Hazelnuts are a great natural source of protein, fiber, and healthy fats. They are rich in vitamin E and contain high levels of folate, which is beneficial for foetus development during pregnancy.

If you are a hazelnut lover, you can always count on our Hazelnut Chocolate bars to keep you full, healthy and happy.

Peanuts

Finally, spotlight on the mighty peanuts! Native in South America, peanuts were first cultivated about 3,500 years ago by the Incas. They are an excellent source of plant-based protein, healthy fats, and fiber, making them a perfect healthy snack option. Their amazing versatility as a food means that you can snack on them as they are, roast them, boil them or enjoy them as peanut butter.

Peanuts are rich in different vitamins and minerals like vitamin E, magnesium, and potassium. You can find a whooping 50% peanuts in our yummy Peanut Chocolate bars.
