Hazelnut butter

Less processed hazelnut butter works well as a healthy alternative to peanut butter, unlike Nutella, a type of hazelnut spread that is high in sugar and unhealthy fats. Hazelnut butter is made from ground and roasted hazelnuts; it may also have flavor-enhancing chocolate additions but without the added sugars. However, it's mainly used in desserts and other sweet foods, much like Nutella.

The profile of monounsaturated fatty acids in hazelnuts is high. In fact, they contain a very high amount of omega-9 fatty acids, which are good for heart health and are the second-richest source of monounsaturated fatty acids among nuts. According to studies, eating 30-70 g of hazelnuts daily may dramatically lower levels of LDL (bad) and total cholesterol. Magnesium, calcium, manganese, iron, copper, and zinc are also abundant in them. Additionally, they are thought to be antioxidant-rich and contain a lot of vitamin E and phenolic compounds, which may have anti-inflammatory properties.
