Crunchy and delicately flavored. Natural hazelnuts (filberts) are high in protein and low in fat. Hazelnuts contain nearly 80 percent monounsaturated fat. Studies indicate this high level of monounsaturated fat is likely responsible for a reduction in both total blood and LDL cholesterol levels. It also contributes significant amounts of protein, fiber, iron, phosphorus, vitamins B1, B2, C, and E, folate and many other essential nutrients.
