August 19: Go Nuts on National Nuts Day!

Many people think that nuts are just a quick snack, but we at Dishfolio know that nuts are packed full of nutritional benefits, making them a great choice any time of the day. The most popular nut in the US is the peanut, which was first grown in Paraguay, and species of peanut though to be as old as 7,600 years have been found in Peru.

Today, peanuts (along with other types of nut such as the walnut) are becoming more and more popular as their health benefits are being revealed. There are so many ways you can eat them, but snacking on raw nuts is a great way to get healthy fats, protein and fiber.

Did you know that the peanut has the most protein per ounce of all the nuts? There are lots of online food recipes that will help you to make great, healthy nut-based snacks.
