Eating nuts in moderation can help balance blood sugar levels.

Nuts are a great addition to your daily diet. It doesn't matter which ones you choose, almonds, walnuts, cashews, peanuts, etc. They enrich your body with proteins, fiber, carbohydrates and healthy fats. Most nuts have fewer carbohydrates and more healthy fats, fiber and protein. Eating nuts in moderation can help balance blood sugar levels. Nuts are also rich in magnesium, selenium, phosphorus and vitamin E, which have many benefits for the body. Walnuts are usually sold in two main varieties: raw and roasted.
Roasting nuts changes their flavor, texture, aroma, and mouthfeel. This makes them crunchier and can even help make the nuts a little easier to digest.
If you are trying to lose weight, you may want to avoid oil-roasted nuts. Oil-roasted nuts have oil added during cooking, which slightly increases the fat and calorie content of the nuts. Instead, opt for raw or dry roasted nuts.
The heat used to roast nuts can slightly reduce their antioxidant and vitamin content. Grilling can also damage some of the healthy fats. Additionally, these fats can become rancid if stored improperly in heat or exposed to the sun for too long, giving nuts an unpleasant taste and odor.
If you like to eat roasted nuts but don't want to miss out on these nutrients or consume extra calories, buy raw nuts at the market and roast them at home in the oven or deep fryer. This way you can regulate the temperature and avoid the oil and sodium content that comes with salted packaged nuts. Roasting a small amount of nuts at home will also prevent them from going rancid if stored for a long time. Plus, your house will be filled with a nutty aroma!
In general, nuts in both forms are rich in nutrients and the difference is not much. However, if you have to choose, you should choose raw nuts because they are a little healthier than roasted nuts. Make sure the nuts you buy don't contain too much salt or other spices.
