Whole Nuts vs. Nut Butters: The Absorption Paradox
Research indicates that the way nuts are processed affects nutrient absorption, particularly fats and vitamins. Industrially ground nuts, which break down cell walls, allow for greater fat accessibility, resulting in higher calorie absorption. In contrast, home-ground nuts retain more intact cell structures, leading to lower energy density and calorie uptake. However, this could also influence the absorption of essential nutrients, such as vitamin E, which is absorbed more slowly from whole nuts than from those that are finely ground. Thus, the method of nut preparation not only affects calorie intake but also the bioavailability of vital nutrients.
