Nuts are widely considered a healthy food<\/a>, but not all varieties deliver the same nutritional benefits.<\/p>\n

The snacks are best known for delivering healthy fats, fiber and protein<\/a> in a compact, nutrient-rich package that’s easy to eat on the go.<\/p>\n

Though they pack plenty of nutrients, nuts are often recommended in small portions only due to their high calorie content.<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital reached out to nutrition experts to learn the top five healthiest nuts \u2014 and what makes each one worth adding to your snack rotation<\/a>.<\/p>\n

See the list just below.<\/p>\n

Walnuts “lead the pack for cardiovascular and brain health,” said Whitney Stuart, a Texas-based dietitian and diabetes educator at Whitness Nutrition.<\/p>\n

“They’re the only nut with a significant source of ALA omega-3 fatty acids, which support inflammation reduction and cognitive function,” she told Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n

Mackenzie Burgess, a Los Angeles-based registered dietitian nutritionist and recipe developer at Cheerful Choices, also expanded on the benefits of walnuts<\/a>, even citing a recent study that measured their positive effects on sleep quality.<\/p>\n

“I love adding a handful to oatmeal or yogurt<\/a> or even enjoying them as an after-dinner snack for that extra sleep benefit,” she said.<\/p>\n

Pistachios offer “one of the most balanced nutrition profiles<\/a> of any nut,” said Amy Goodson, a registered dietitian based in Dallas.<\/p>\n

The small-but-mighty nuts, Goodson told Fox News Digital, are “rich in potassium and antioxidants like lutein and zeaxanthin<\/a>, which support eye health.<\/p>\n

“Plus, because they’re often eaten in the shell, they can naturally help with portion control,” she added.<\/p>\n

Stuart said pistachios are underrated.<\/p>\n

“Research consistently shows they improve postprandial blood sugar response and offer one of the highest protein counts per serving of any nut,” Stuart said.<\/p>\n

Almonds are<\/a> a go-to choice for blood sugar management, Stuart noted.<\/p>\n

“Their combination of fiber, magnesium and healthy fat slows glucose absorption and supports insulin sensitivity,” she said.<\/p>\n

Goodson described almonds as “a fiber powerhouse.”<\/p>\n

These nuts are “particularly rich in soluble fiber, which supports heart health<\/a> by helping lower LDL cholesterol,” she said.<\/p>\n

“They’re also packed with vitamin E, an antioxidant that supports skin health and immune function. Their crunch and versatility make them an easy addition to snacks and meals.<\/a>“<\/p>\n

Though they may be less popular than other varieties, Brazil nuts offer significant health benefits.<\/p>\n

Their main appeal, said Goodson, comes down to one thing: selenium.<\/p>\n

“Just one [Brazil] nut per day can meet your daily selenium needs, which plays a critical role in thyroid function, immune health and antioxidant defense,” she added.<\/p>\n

“Because they’re so concentrated, moderation is important.”<\/p>\n

The standout nutrients in cashews are magnesium and zinc, Burgess said.<\/p>\n

These two minerals “play a key role in immune function, bone health and energy metabolism.”<\/p>\n

“They also provide heart-healthy monounsaturated fats similar to those found in olive oil,” she said, suggesting eating them alone or turning them into cashew butter.<\/p>\n

“Research suggests cashew consumption may support healthy blood pressure levels and cardiovascular health,” Burgess added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
