Tips
4 reasons to eat Pinenuts - Mon 28th Mar 2011
Pinoli or 'pignoli' nuts are bursting with benefits:
1. They curb your appetite
A hormone is released that signals to your brain that you're full. It also helps slow down the speed your stomach empties so you feel fuller longer.
2. They're nutritional powerhouses
A serving can provide you with 14g of protein. They're also an excellent source of fibre as well as vitamins E, K, and niacin. For minerals, they deliver magnesium and potassium - important for maintaining a healthy heart and blood pressure.
3. They're heart healthy
Pine nuts have the same heart healthy fats that make olive oil so beneficial. These fats reduce blood cholesterol levels and help protect the arteries.
4. They offer antioxidant protection
Pine nuts are high in antioxidants which help to protect the cells of your body from free radical damage.
Sprinkle them on your salad or add them in with vegetables and pasta dishes, and if you needed any other reason pine nuts are supposed to have been a sort of early Viagra!
