HOW TO ENJOY IT ON KETO

  • Manageable net carbs in small portions (≈2–3g per 28g handful)
  • High fat and decent protein increase satiety between meals
  • Dry-roasted, salt-only varieties avoid added sugars/starches
  • Legume (not a tree nut) but still workable on keto with tracking

HEALTH BENEFITS

  • High in protein and fiber for fullness
  • Good source of vitamin E, niacin, folate, and manganese
  • Contains arginine and polyphenols (e.g., resveratrol in small amounts)
