FIGURE 1.

The content of carbohydrate, protein, and fat subtypes in grams (saturated, mono-, and polyunsaturated fats) per 100 g of nuts and seeds. Due to higher water content, both coconut and chestnut have only ∼50–60% of macronutrient content. Unlike other nuts and seeds, chestnuts are high in carbohydrate and coconuts are high in saturated fat. It is noted most nuts are high in monounsaturated fats, whereas walnuts and seeds are higher in polyunsaturated fats. Due to these obvious differences in their nutritional profiles, chestnuts and coconuts should not be included in research that considers nut and seed intake.
