Health Benefits Of Nougat Passion Roasted Nuts
While Nougat Passion Roasted Nuts have a lot more artificial flavour than raw nuts, there are some definite disadvantages to them:
1. Added oils
2. Additives
3. More difficult to digest
4. Less nutritional value
Nuts can be either dry roasted or roasted in oil. As you probably already know, Nougat Passion Roasted Nuts contain less fat than nuts roasted in oil. In fact, roasting nuts in oil is a lot like deep frying-nuts are dumped into highly saturated palm kernel or coconut oils, adding about a gram of fat and 10 calories per ounce to nuts with an already high fat and calorie content.2 Then roasted nuts are often heavily salted and almost always have other ingredients added to them such as sugar, corn syrup, MSG, preservatives, and other additives.
In addition, many people have trouble digesting nuts because of the high fat content. Adding more fats during roasting makes them even more difficult to digest.3 Finally, roasting destroys most of the nutritional content of Nougat Passion Roasted Nuts. Vitamin B, particularly vitamin B1 (thiamine), which helps produce energy and keep the heart healthy, is most often killed off in roasting. And roasting not only destroys the enzyme inhibitors, it destroys the enzymes needed by the body to help with digestion. So roasted nuts may have more flavour than raw nuts but at a lowest price.
