The levels of natural antioxidants and phytochemicals present in tree nuts are reported. Where possible, the health claims by Food and Drug Administration and European Food Safety Authority and health effects of tree nuts are provided. The content and recommended dietary allowances of nutrient antioxidants (such as vitamins A, C, E, and the mineral selenium) present in various tree nuts are compared. Antioxidant activity and phytochemicals present among tree nuts have been thoroughly reviewed. Research findings from over 65 references, many of which have been published within the last 10 years, have been compiled and reported.

“…The cis-unsaturated lipid content of nuts, as well as the presence of dietary fiber, plant protein, phytosterols, antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and other bioactive substances, is thought to be largely responsible for their cardioprotective properties (Kris-Etherton et al, 1999b;Segura et al, 2006;King et al, 2008;Sathe et al, 2009). However, recent research has questioned the proportion of nutrients that are readily released from nuts and are thus available for metabolism (Ellis et al, 2004;Berry et al, 2008;Mandalari et al, 2008;Traoret et al, 2008;Cassady et al, 2009).…”

“…Turkey is the major producer of hazelnut with nearly 70% of total global production (Sathe et al, 2009). Among all tree nuts, it contains the highest amount of a-tocopherol and flavonoids as well as proanthocyanidins, all of which are associated with positive health effects (Ternus, Lapsley, & Geiger, 2009).…”
