Introduction to Nut Testing

Nuts are a variety of seed foods rich in oils such as peanuts, walnuts, cashews, pine nuts, melon seeds, almonds, pistachios, etc. They are generally nutritious and contain high levels of protein, oil, minerals and vitamins, and have excellent effects on human growth and development, physical fitness and disease prevention. According to authoritative research results, eating nuts more than twice a week can reduce the risk of fatal heart disease. Nuts are rich in unsaturated fatty acids, which are beneficial to increase the content of high-density lipoprotein in serum. They have the function of lowering triglycerides in blood, and have certain effects on preventing atherosclerosis, hypertension, coronary heart disease and other diseases. In addition, nuts are a treasure trove of minerals and a good source of magnesium, copper, manganese and selenium. These minerals regulate a variety of physiological functions and are also key elements in the synthesis of antioxidant enzymes in the body.
