“Seeds (sunflower, sesame, squash and others) and nuts (Brazil, cashew, walnut, almonds, hazelnuts and others) are also good sources of protein and fats, mostly unsaturated, vitamins (folic acid, niacin) and minerals (zinc, selenium, magnesium, potassium and others). There is evidence that nuts reduce the risk of heart disease, diabetes and some types of cancer. They can be used as accompaniments or snacks and should be consumed roasted and without salt. They are rich in mono- and polyunsaturated fats. (p. 174)
