Which nuts are good, which are bad.

[ViciousBish]

I've been trying to eat nuts lately and I really like cashews. Does it matter which nuts you eat or are they all good? Anyone have any favorites or ones to stay away from?

They're all good.

[ViciousBish]

Yay!

[getfit]

cashews, walnuts, almonds are my favorite.

[KingWilder]

Pecans are wonderful too :drooling:

i forgot those, yes they are.

Best to eat them raw vs roasted. They digest more completely, and the healthy oils aren't denatured, or oxidized as a result of the processing.

Macadaimian nuts are amazing. Especially in cookies with white chocolate chips. :)

Nuts are great, all types are good!!

My nuts are good. :) Haha. I love cashews, and pecans.

I have read numerous places that macademia and cashews are highest in saturated fat and lowest in EFA's.

so I stick to peanuts and almonds.

[RedSpikeyThing]

Almonds are my favourite, but I usually eat peanuts because they are a lot cheaper.

Todays fun fact: almonds are nuts! People with nut allergies often are not allergic to almonds. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Almond



DISCLAIMER: If you are allergic to nuts, please don't eat almonds because I said so....I don't want to accidently kill you.

I heard peanuts and almonds are the way to go. Although getting the extra salty peanuts might not be a better choice over plain peanuts. Just go to the store and check the Nutrition faqs and pick the healthiest brand :D
