Hello, everyone! I'm your Nutrition Translator. During holidays and family gatherings, nuts always grace every household's table. But how much do you really know about nuts? Today, let's embark on a nutritional journey to uncover the big nutrition packed into these little nuts. Let's get started!
Though small, nuts pack a nutritional punch. Common varieties include walnuts, almonds, cashews, and hazelnuts. So how should we enjoy them?
First, nuts should be part of your daily diet. The Chinese Dietary Guidelines recommend an average daily intake of 25-35g of soybeans and nuts.Different nuts offer distinct nutrients, and mixing them helps meet daily nutritional needs.
Nutrition Translator's Friendly Tip: Always choose fresh nuts. Nuts are rich in unsaturated fatty acids, protein, dietary fiber, and trace elements. Their core nutrient—unsaturated fatty acids—is prone to oxidation. Unfresh nuts taste poor, lose nutrients, and may even harm your health.
>Jin Long, Director of the National Nut Processing Technology R&D Center, Expert Committee Member of the China Nutrition and Health Food Association, and Technical Center Director at QiaQia Foods, explains that preserving nut quality hinges on four core elements: harvesting fresh seasonal ingredients, low-temperature storage and cold-chain transportation, precise temperature-controlled packaging, and barrier protection. Only through comprehensive control across the entire supply chain can we ensure the freshness and quality of every nut, delivering consumers the taste of freshly shelled nuts.
Tips: The popular daily nut mixes feature high-barrier, individually packaged portions combining various nuts and dried fruits. One packet daily provides balanced nutrition. Pairing them with dairy products like milk or yogurt enhances both nutrition and flavor.
