Mediterranean Pine Nuts

Mediterranean pine nuts are actually the seed of the stone pine tree found in the south-central region of Portugal. Just like pistachios, they have high levels of plant sterol for lowering bad cholesterol levels. They help to regulate insulin levels in blood and also curb unhealthy food cravings by increasing hormones that generate satiety signals.

By incorporating these nuts as a part of your daily diet, you can not only reduce diabetic symptoms, but also enjoy its savory taste. However, although it contains wholesome goodness, nuts are known to be high in fat content. Keep to 1-2 serving a day.
