In the past, people can only eat one or two kinds of nuts, and now with the continuous improvement of material living standards, people are in good condition, want to eat what can be bought, eat nuts is not so single. The variety of nuts is still quite a lot, such as walnuts, pistachios, almonds, bad wood, pistachios, hazelnuts, pine nuts, macadamia nuts, chestnuts, and so on. Looking at these nuts, we are not very eager to eat it. You do not say, I am a little drooling.

The variety of nuts is very rich, and the nutritional value of each nut is very high, the flavor is unique, eaten very fragrant, so people can not stop their mouth. Nuts are rich in oils, unsaturated fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals such as calcium and zinc. Regularly eating some nuts can help the body to provide nutrition so that the body is full of energy, but also effective prevention of cardiovascular disease.

We all know that nuts are rich in fats and oils, high content of fats and oils, and most of them contain unsaturated fatty acids, this fatty acids can effectively reduce the body's cholesterol, and play a positive role in stabilizing blood pressure. Of course, although the high-fat content, and good for the body, after all, it is fat, should not eat too much at once, otherwise, it will grow fat.

Nuts also contain inorganic salts and vitamin A, vitamin B, vitamin E, etc., of which vitamin B can regulate the conversion and secretion of grease, often eating some nuts face greasy feeling will slowly reduce. The vitamin is an extremely strong antioxidant, can promote cell recovery, and can play a role in slowing down the aging process.

However, in the process of frying, if you do not have a good grasp of the fire may be fried nuts scorched. Scorched nuts destroy the nutrients, not only that, these originally beneficial to the body of nutrition, is because after the fried scorched, may turn into harmful carcinogenic substances, so it is not worth the loss. We recommend that, fried scorched nuts should not eat.

2, moldy nuts

Some people buy a lot of nuts at once, but nuts if are improperly stored, there is a risk of mold, moldy nuts contain carcinogenic substances - aflatoxin. This substance contains highly toxic, eat these moldy nuts, there will be vomiting, fever, and other situations, serious and possibly carcinogenic, and extremely harmful to the body. Therefore, once found moldy nuts resolutely do not eat, if at the time of eating, found a bitter taste, spit out, but also promptly rinse the mouth.
