One of the biggest myths is that nuts are "Fattening" because they're high in fat. The fat in nuts is healthy fat that actually keeps arteries clear.
When I was seriously overweight, doctors told me to avoid nuts & peanut butter because "They go right to your waist." Shows how ignorant most doctors are about nutrition. I snack on nuts constantly - no limit & weight stays at 165.
Another benefit: Since nuts are in shells, they are protected from pesticides & other contaminants.

Pistachios! Just yesterday I had a mental image of a big bag of shelled Pistachios, I'm opening a browser tab and going to Amazon right now!

Pecan fan here… especially toasted with a little bit of sea salt!

 

[Ruthanne]

Pecans are my favorite but I also like most nuts.

 

[RadishRose]

I keep walnuts in the freezer for cooking and I should eat them more. I like most nuts, especially pistachios and cashews. I've been buying my sister almonds in bulk from Winco...she's been roasting them in the oven. Those are pretty good, too.

It's funny that this thread got bumped, because I just started snacking on pistachios last night. They were pretty good, not my favorite, but I've read they're a healthy nut and wanted to branch out beyond almonds.

My favorites are dry-roasted peanuts, but that's too much salt, and I've heard they're not as healthy.

I always keep nuts on hand. In my fridge/freezer are walnuts, cashews, pecans, and pistachios along with sunflower and pumpkin seeds.

Have only been eating pine nuts. Love 'em.

 

[PeppermintPatty]

Pecans and macadamia nuts are my favourite

Costco has macadamia nuts that are incredible, available in stores, and ORGANIC cashews available by mail order are very, very good. The conventional cashews available in Costco stores are nothing special so ordering the organic ones is worth the hassle. (I'm not usually a big believer in the value of organic but sometimes they're better growers and have a better product so in those cases that's what I buy.)

We use Costco for walnuts, pecans, macadamias, pine nuts, and cashews. Will be checking on their pistachios, but always buy Blue Diamond brand elsewhere because they are vastly better in quality than what Costco offers.

I just finished a bag of pistachios today. Yum. Pecans are my favorite, though.

I do love halvah with pistachios in it.

 

[Lewkat]

I munch on pistachios all the time. Delicious and nutricious.

 

[EmptyCup]

I eat them all, except that big one (Brazil?) It has no taste. Probably an individual thing. I don’t get the salted. Messes with my thyroid.
As someone else said, it’s a good kind of fat, like avocado and olive oil.

I always keep nuts on hand. In my fridge/freezer are walnuts, cashews, pecans, and pistachios along with sunflower and pumpkin seeds.

All of these except cashews right now.

Peanut butter is natural with absolutely no additives (i.e. Salt, oil, sugar, etc.)
