Facts

Although nuts are often eaten as a natural source of nutrients it must be remembered that preparation and handling can greatly increase or decrease their nutrient value.

Roasted nuts will have been subjected to high temperatures that denatures the fragile proteins and causes the unstable unsaturated fats to become rancid and renders them much less valuable to the body.
