Question: are nuts rich in protein?
Answer: In addition to being a good source of fiber and fats, nuts can also be a good source of protein. The current Daily Value (%DV) for protein is 50 grams per day. One ounce (1oz) of nuts or seeds is typically equivalent to a handful, or 2-3 tablespoons. Most nuts provide between 8-18% DV of protein per 1oz handful.
