Nuts and Nut Butters All nuts, from hazelnuts to pecans, are great sources of healthy fats that benefit your heart. Walnuts, in particular, are rich in heart-healthy fats. However, it’s recommended to practice portion control, even with nuts high in healthy fats. A serving size is about 1 ounce, which translates to roughly 14 walnut halves, 23 almonds, 28 peanuts, 18 cashews, and 19 pecan halves. Nut butters are also a good source of healthy fats, but make sure to choose varieties with minimal added sugars and unhealthy fats.
