Hazelnuts, Brazil Nuts Unfortunately, hazelnuts are one the least consumed nuts, which is a shame because a single serving of them contains 86% of the recommended daily amount of Vitamin E, a very important vitamin contributing to the health of your skin, heart, muscles and nervous system. You’ll also get half of the daily dose of magnesium, a mineral that helps regulate the calcium levels in muscles and maintain the skeletal system. Post-menopausal women are often deficient in magnesium, which makes hazelnuts an excellent food for that population. Hazelnuts are also a great source of the …
