Nuts and Seeds: Nutrients they provide

 

Each type of nut and seed offers unique nutrients. One nut or seed isn't better than the others - just different! While peanuts and pumpkin seeds offer more protein, walnuts and Brazil nuts provide more of the healthier fats. That's why offering a variety is important.

Note: The following are units of measurement:

  • oz = ounce
