Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about premium nuts.

Which nuts are best for weight loss? +

Best for weight loss: Almonds, Pistachios, Walnuts, and Foxnuts (Makhana). These nuts are high in protein and fiber which promote satiety. Almonds help reduce belly fat, pistachios are low-calorie, walnuts regulate appetite hormones, and foxnuts are naturally low in calories. Remember portion control – stick to 1 ounce (small handful) per serving.

How many nuts should I eat daily? +

Recommended daily intake: 1 ounce (28 grams) of nuts per day, which is approximately: 23 almonds • 18 cashews • 14 walnut halves • 49 pistachios • 6-8 Brazil nuts. This provides optimal health benefits without excessive calories. For specific health goals or dietary restrictions, consult a nutritionist.

Are raw or roasted nuts healthier? +

Raw nuts retain more nutrients (some vitamins are heat-sensitive) and have no added oils or salt. Roasted nuts have enhanced flavor and may be easier to digest, but can lose some nutrients during roasting. Dry-roasted without added oil is healthier than oil-roasted. For maximum health benefits, choose raw or lightly dry-roasted nuts without added salt.

Can people with nut allergies eat all these nuts? +

Important: People with tree nut allergies should avoid almonds, walnuts, cashews, pistachios, Brazil nuts, hazelnuts, pecans, and pine nuts. Peanuts are legumes and different from tree nuts, but many people with nut allergies are also allergic to peanuts. Foxnuts (Makhana) and Chickpeas are generally safe as they’re not true nuts. Always consult an allergist if unsure.

Which nuts are best for brain health? +

Top nuts for brain health: 1. Walnuts – Highest in Omega-3 (DHA) • 2. Almonds – Rich in Vitamin E & L-carnitine • 3. Brazil Nuts – High selenium for cognitive function • 4. Hazelnuts – Vitamin E for brain cell protection • 5. Peanuts – Niacin and Vitamin E combination. A mix of these nuts provides comprehensive brain support.
