If snacking presents a once-you-pop-you-can’t-stop problem, pick pistachios. The tiny green nuts afford you the biggest serving size—49 kernels—and since they’re typically sold in-shell, the work that goes into peeling the nuts slows down consumption. Pistachios are also the nut with the highest levels of three eyesight-boosting antioxidants: lutein, zeazanthin, and beta-carotene.

Almonds offer up more fiber than any other nut, which may help explain why participants in a Purdue University study who added 1.5 ounces of the nut to their daily diets reported less hunger and did not gain weight despite taking in 250 extra calories. Almonds also contain 75mg of calcium per serving—a fourth of what’s in a cup of skim milk.

Since they grow underground, peanuts are technically legumes, but offer the same health and nutrition benefits as tree nuts. At 7g per serving, peanuts are the big winner when it comes to protein. They’re also of the best sources of arginine. The amino acid promotes the production of nitric oxide, which helps dilate blood vessels and may help lower blood pressure.

Walnuts’ claim to fame: they’re the only nuts that are a significant source of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), a plant-based omega-3 fatty acid that boosts heart and brain health. What’s more, a walnut-rich diet may reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s disease, as the nut’s high levels of antioxidants protect the brain from degeneration, according to research published in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease.

​Brazil nuts are best known for their selenium content—a 1-ounce serving delivers 777% of the recommended daily intake of the antioxidant. Selenium fights free radicals—particles that damage cells and cause diseases like cancer and heart disease—plays a role in thyroid function and reproduction, and may bolster the immune system, so stock up during flu season.

​In addition to being the nut that’s lowest in fat, cashews are also an excellent source of copper—one serving takes care of almost 100% of your daily intake of the mineral. Copper does a number of things in the body: it helps absorb iron (and make energy); manufacture red blood cells; and form collagen, a key component of bones and connective tissue.

Hazelnuts are big on folate—a lack of the B-vitamin, found primarily in leafy green vegetables, may cause mental health issues, like depression. Hazelnuts also have a higher concentration of proanthocyanidins (PACs) than any other nut. PACs are antioxidant plant compounds that may lower blood pressure, keep blood vessels and arteries healthy, and reduce the risk of heart disease.
