Did you know that in addition to their delicious flavor, tree nuts (almonds, Brazil nuts, cashews, hazelnuts, macadamias, pecans, pine nuts, pistachios and walnuts) are celebrated for their multitude of health advantages? Consuming as little as a single handful - which is equivalent to 1 ½ ounces - of nuts daily can offer some significant nutritional perks. Special thanks to the International Tree Nut Council Nutrition Research Education Foundation (INC NREF), a nonprofit organization that represents nine tree nuts: almonds, Brazil nuts, cashews, hazelnuts, macadamias, pecans, pine nuts, pistachios and walnuts.
