Pine Nuts are lower in saturated fat than other nuts but still reasonably high (just over 50%) in both mono and poly unsaturated fats (the good fat). They are high in protein, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, folate (folic acid), vitamins A and K with a good level of phytosterols which are thought to help against heart disease as they can lower cholesterol. They also contain no cholesterol. They are an excellent source of fiber giving you a fuller feeling. Pine Nuts also contain pinolenic acid which has been shown to curb the appetite. Other Pine Nut benefits include maintaining a healthy blood pressure and heart rate.
