Nutrient Profiles of
Nut Oils
This chart shows the approximate percentage of calories that each of several
nuts provides in fat, protein, and carbohydrates. The amount of fiber
by weight is also shown. Assuming that the nuts are not eaten in excess,
a higher or lower fat percentage does not necessarily mean it is better
or worse than others.

Percentages by calories may not add up to 100% due to rounding. Different
batches of the same types of nuts may cause results above to appear
inconsistent. Use data only as a general approximation.
