Nuts are fruits composed of two parts: an inedible hard shell and an edible seed. Nuts are known as an energy-dense and nutrient-rich food source. In general, nuts are recognized as a good source of fat, fiber, and protein. Nuts are extremely beneficial parts of any diet since their consumption may lower risk for some diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases and cancer. They are acknowledged for their low glycemic index owning to high unsaturated fat and protein content and relatively low carbohydrate content. They have been shown to increase cognitive function as well.
不可食用的硬壳和可食用的种子。坚果是一种能量密集且营养丰富的食物来源。一般来说，坚果被认为是脂肪、纤维和蛋白质的良好来源。坚果是任何饮食中极其有益的部分，因为食用坚果可能会降低某些疾病的风险，如心血管疾病和癌症。由于其不饱和脂肪和蛋白质含量高以及碳水化合物含量相对较低，它们的血糖生成指数较低，这一点也得到认可。它们还被证明可以提高认知功能。
