Nuts: Fibre’s Crunchy Companions

Nuts, akin to seeds, serve as a fantastic method to dust your salads, desserts, or even party bowls with a fibre boost. With negligible sugar content, they're worry-free on that front. However, for those keeping an eye on their weight, it's worth noting that nuts pack a substantial energetic punch. Take peanuts, for instance, which technically belong in the legume family. You might have expected to find them there, but let's face it, who searches for peanuts under legumes? The calorie content of a single peanut rivals that of a Tic Tac, so go easy, nut lovers. For ease, I've portioned all nuts into a manageable serving size of 30 g, perfect for mindful munching.

Almonds: 3.75 g (12.5 g)
Brazil: 2.25 g (7.5 g)
Cashews: 0.99 g (3.3 g)
