Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. "You're a nut!" Mike yells. If he needs vitamin E in order for his body to get antioxidants, and also wants to get high amounts of copper, then what is the nut he's most likely screaming at?

Answer: Hazelnut

That's right, Mike was yelling at a hazelnut. He tends to do that sometimes. Hazelnuts have a great concentration of copper, which helps disarm free radicals that could damage fats and cholesterol in the body.

Besides, hazelnuts are a very rich source of monounsaturates and Vitamins E and B, which helps in having healthy skin and hair.

2. "You're a nut!" Now Mike is yelling at one of the richest sources of selenium in the World. Which nut, native of Latin America, is he yelling at?

Answer: Brazil nut

Deficiency of selenium can lead to weak muscles and fatigue. Selenium can also help heal burned skin and improve the immune system.

Brazil nuts are the best source of this element, as only one of them is able to provide more than the daily recommended value of selenium. They also contain magnesium and polyunsaturated fatty acids, both of which are good for the human body.

3. "You're a nut!" Mike started yelling as he was bedazzled by what he just found out. It turns out that the nut he found has more iron per weight than rump steak! Which nut was he screaming at?

Answer: Cashew nut

Cashew nuts contain more iron per gram than lean rump steak, and provide lots of potassium and zinc. Here's some piece of advice from Mike: eat them while drinking orange juice. It will improve their absorption.

They are composed mainly of fat, but don't worry, as most of it is the good kind of fat! It is oleic acid, which has major benefits including prevention against heart diseases and cancer.

4. "You're a nut!" Everyone stared at Mike at the ice cream parlor. He was yelling at a greenish scoop of ice cream. What flavor was Mike eating (and yelling at)?

Answer: Pistachio

Pistachio nuts have minerals such as iron, calcium, magnesium and zinc, so they are a healthy choice.

Pistachio ice cream is rather popular, and is usually green. Walnut ice cream also exists, and is brown-colored.

5. "You're a nut!" Mike yelled at a nut. It is known that it can help lower cholesterol and fight some types of cancer, as well as providing your body with zinc. Which nut?

Answer: Almond

A study was made in which animals were exposed to colon cancer agents, and then given almonds. Their condition improved! This could be due to the high fiber content the almond has.

Besides, almonds also provide fair amounts of calcium and magnesium, and are rich in Vitamin E.

6. "You're a nut!" Mike is getting a little annoying, but he is learning some very interesting stuff. He is now yelling at the only low-fat nut. Which nut?

Answer: Chestnut

Chestnuts are pretty unique, not only because being the only low-fat nut, but it is also the only type of nut containing Vitamin C. They also provide carbohydrates.

Chestnuts have many culinary uses, as they can be used in cake flours and be eaten roasted, boiled, or raw.

7. "You're a nut!" Mike yelled at a peanut, which is high in protein and monounsaturated fat. Is his statement right?

Answer: No

Contrary to popular belief, peanuts are actually not nuts! They are classified as legumes, although eaten as if they were nuts.

Peanuts also contain resveratrol, an antioxidant that helps protect the heart and blood vessels.

8. "You're a nut!" Mike yelled. He is apparently looking at a nut which helps lower cholesterol and has more vitamin E than olive oil! Which nut is Mike yelling at now?

Answer: Macadamia nut

The Macadamia nut is named after Dr. John Macadam, a friend of botanist Ferdinand von Mueller.

They are very fatty, so if you plan to lose a little weight, eat them with moderation. Macadamia nut oil is lower in polyunsaturated fat, which makes it a healthier choice in comparison to olive oil and rapeseed oil.

9. "You're a nut!" This time Mike is shouting at a nut that contains oleic acid and can help lower bad cholesterol, and pinolenic acid. Which nut?

Answer: Pine nut

Pine nuts have rather high levels of fat and calories too, but contain magnesium and potassium, which combined can result in strong and healthy heartbeat and help improve blood pressure.

They also have iron, copper and zinc.

Answer: Walnut

Poor Mike, if he only knew serotonin was one of the brain chemicals that can cause migraine, he would have never eaten so many walnuts! He needed a rest anyway, all that yelling was exhausting.

Walnuts can not only work as antioxidants, but can help prevent cancer and several heart diseases.
