Hazelnuts, commonly used in coffee and chocolate spreads, contain the highest levels of antioxidants than any other nut, keeping your system clean. Try boiling some peanuts in salt water for a delicious Southern snack, or check out this healthy trail mix recipe. [Image By David Dewitt/thecozycoffee.com/hazelnut-coffee/]
