About nuts

Article Type: Food facts - January 2010 From: Nutrition & Food Science, Volume 40, Issue 2.

For over 100 years, The Dutch Society for Nuts and Dried Fruits (De Nederlandse Zuidvruchten Vereniging, NZV) looks after the interests of importers and wholesalers of nuts, dried fruits, spices and related commodities. The NZV, together with its members, is highly interested in the health benefits of peanuts and nuts. A recent study by Bes-Rastrollo et al. shows that the long-term regular consumption of peanuts, peanut butter and tree nuts helps women to regulate their body weight and reduce their risk of obesity.
