The mono and polyunsaturated oils contained in hazelnuts are protective against heart disease. They also contain some of the B vitamins for energy, calcium, iron and zinc. They are also high in vitamins A and E which act as antioxidants to\u00a0 help mop up free radicals in the body.<\/p>\n<p><em>Cocoa: <\/em>is very high in potassium which is essential for keeping our blood pressure from becoming too high. It also contains iron, manganese, magnesium, copper, and phosphorous as well as small amounts of calcium, zinc, selenium, riboflavin and niacin.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>This spread does contain a decent whack of calories, although the calories are derived from the healthy fats found in the oil and nuts.
