Dietitian's Tips for Hazelnut Consumption
Metabolic Effect: Hazelnuts support cardiovascular health thanks to their unsaturated fatty acids, especially oleic acid. Their high Vitamin E content creates a strong antioxidant effect, protecting cells against oxidative stress and strengthening the immune system.
Consumption Recommendation: Raw hazelnuts preserve nutritional values better than roasted ones. Consuming 1 handful (approx. 30g) per day provides satiety and balances blood sugar. It can be consumed with fruit at breakfast or as a snack.
Things to Consider: Since it is a very energy-dense food (628 kcal per 100g), it can cause weight gain if portion control is not maintained. Additionally, individuals with nut allergies should be careful.
Exercise Equivalent: To burn the calories from 1 handful of hazelnuts (approx. 188 kcal), it is necessary to walk briskly for 25-30 minutes or run for 15-20 minutes.
