The hazelnut contains an extremely high percentage of monounsaturated fats and oleic acid. Actually, hazelnuts boast the highest content of this type of fat, making them extremely healthy for your cardiovascular system. Remember, oleic acid is the main fatty acid in olive oil. That’s why hazelnut spread is the perfect product for people who suffer from high blood pressure or high cholesterol, or who simply want to take care of their arteries.
Another benefit of the hazelnut is its elevated content of vitamin E, an antioxidant vitamin that has several beneficial effects on the body. Vitamin E is found in the oils of seeds, in olive oil, in avocados and in nuts. Studies show that an adequate intake of vitamin E can prevent some diseases and that it has a powerful anti-ageing effect.
The amounts of iron and folic acid hazelnuts contain also make them a recommended food for people with a predisposition for iron deficiency anaemia. While it is true that iron derived from vegetables is less easily absorbed, hazelnuts can act as a good dietary supplement to keep iron at optimum levels.

Who can benefit from them?
People who have high calcium requirements
Growing children, pregnant women, premenopausal women and people who generally need extra amounts of calcium. ALMENDRINA spreads, especially the almond spread, can be ideal in these cases.
People with high cholesterol
Because of the kinds of fat and because of the phytosterols contained in nuts, these spreads can be of great help in regulating cholesterol levels.
People with cardiovascular problems
People who suffer from chronic hypertension or who have had some type of cardiovascular problem are perfect candidates for adding ALMENDRINA spreads to their regular diet.
Seniors
ALMENDRINA spreads have a very high nutritional value and are easy to use, both very important factors for seniors who often have problems with poor absorption and chewing.
Children
Children often consume products high in saturated fats and low in nutritional value. ALMENDRINA spreads have the advantage of offering high nutritional value, “good fats” and great taste.
People who need extra energy
ALMENDRINA spread provides lots of energy (500-550 kcal/100 g) and can be very beneficial to people leading very active lives, athletes, convalescents, anorexics, etc.
People suffering from digestive irregularity
Nuts provide more dietary fibre than vegetables. This is one aspect of these excellent foods that is often overlooked.
People with iron deficiency
The amount of iron in these spreads is remarkable. Although nuts are not the most potent sources of iron, they can still be considered a major help in improving iron deficiency.
Vegetarians
These spreads contribute a considerable quantity of protein to the diet and this can be of paramount importance to people who do not eat meat or fish.
Anyone who wants to maintain a balanced diet
In moderate amounts, these spreads can be the perfect solution for people who want to maintain a balanced, varied and natural diet.
