Far and away ... Pistachios ... followed by a tie with Almonds and Cashews ... even if they're fruits I guess.
Peanuts to round everything out, but won't turn down others.

 

[seadoug]

Cashews for days.

 

[mrstime]

Cashews! Pecans are OK , almonds and peanuts will do in a pinch! Walnuts are horrible!

 

[Michael Z]

In terms of health benefit, I would say Walnut, Almond, Pistachios are good.

Cashews and Beer Nuts. Original flavors, please.

 

[Aunt Bea]

I like them all.

I grew up with nuts in baked goods and it makes me sad that so many young people don’t seem to care for them.

I think that it’s purely economics when moms stopped adding walnuts to brownies, chocolate chip cookies, etc…

If you get the chance, gather some wild butternuts in the fall and give them a try, they are a lot of work but something that IMO is well worth the effort , the same with wild black walnuts.

 

[Muskrat]

The ones you eat…otherwise they kind of wear me out.

Give me Cashew nuts any day, but if I eat too many, it's a trip to the loo as they go right through me.

 

[Bretrick]

Cashew Nuts are the best.
Macadamia Nuts are a very close second. Indigenous to Australia.
If you ever come across them, buy a small portion for a taste test.

Be careful. Your teeth may get hurt .

we can get macadamia nuts here very easily...they kind of taste like very smooth hazlenut...

I think all nuts do thta if you eat too many.

I hate walnuts *ugh*.... ...but I have a jar of mixed nuts ..mainly cashews & Hazlenuts.. and I add shelled pistachios & Raisins to it, and I eat a small handful every other day

 

[JustDave]

I like them all and in almost any form such as peanut butter. I actually have to restrain myself from buying them.

 

[DebraMae]

Pecans are my favorite. I love pecan pie. Also enjoy them in breads and cookies, or covered in chocolate bark. I try to make Mexican wedding cookies every Christmas.

 

[WheatenLover]

My favorite nuts are pecans. I put them in baked goods, fudge, add them to ice-cream, etc. I also like a snack of pecans and raisins.

I don't eat macadamia nuts because they are poisonous to dogs. Otherwise, I like basically all nuts except for Brazil nuts.

When I was 9, we moved from Germany to Alabama (USAF). The builder of the house my parents bought had huge pecan trees around his office, and he said we could have as many as we wanted. I never forgot him because of that (and because he was missing a thumb - he had accidentally cut it off).
