Here are the nuts I prefer, based on eating them whole or in other foods. (Nut butters are a whole other thing.) I’ve included seeds and legumes as well.
1. Pecans
2. Cashews
3. Hazelnuts
4. Almonds
5. Pistachio
6. Pine Nuts
7. Peanuts
8. Pepitas or Pumpkin Seeds
8. Sesame Seeds
8. Macadamia Nuts
9. Brazil Nuts
(I’m allergic to Walnuts.)
Not a bad list. I’d lower the pecans and hazlenuts quite a bit and eliminate pumpkin seeds, but that’s just me.
A lot of great vitamins and antioxidants from top to bottom. It’s a shame that you’re allergic to the most heart-healthy of all. A steady diet of the nuts you list certainly balances the occasional sweet indulgence. At least that’s what I tell myself. -Joe
