Almonds: what a 30g handful actually gives you
What a 30g handful of almonds contains, which claims a packet may legally make, and what digestibility research suggests.
A UK publication
What Britain eats between meals
Snacks, nutrition and what a packet is legally allowed to claim. We give you the number, the source and a plain-English verdict, and we say when nobody knows yet.
Snacks
Are nuts healthy, or just high in calories?
Nuts are energy dense and still come out well in the research. The plain version of what that evidence can and cannot tell you.
Are peanuts healthy? A legume that behaves like a nut
Peanuts are legumes, yet they sit with tree nuts on protein, fat and fibre, and in the cohort data on heart health.
Are seeds a healthy snack? What the numbers say
Four common seeds compared on fibre, protein and fat, and why whole flaxseed mostly passes through you.
