Can anyone guide me to what nuts are good/bad for me, up until about a week ago i hated nuts but my o/h had a packet of cashews to snack on and i found myself dipping into the pack as well, when i was little i would suck the salt off kp salted lol ( boring childhood) and that was as far as it went.So any suggestions please?


Cheers.
 
Almonds, Pecan and Walnuts are healthy nuts and very nutritious, Cashews are fine too but be careful of the carb content as they do contain more carbs than other nuts, likewise with the dry-roasted varieties.
 
Thanks guys I have bought a packet of walnuts x
 
Oh goodness - I remember walnut whips! Alan you always have to be the one don't you.....I remember the hot dog!

I remember walnut whips when they had a nut inside as well as on top. I believe (along the lines of Steffie's other thread) that they only have a nut on the top now and are smaller.

I quite like the nut and dried fruit mixes (the nuts being almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts and the like - no salt preferably). My only problem is that once I start scoffing them, I don't stop. The recommended servings (e.g. 25g or so) is just not a sensible amount to me!
 
Steffie, i vary between brazil nuts and walnuts but will now add almonds to the list too but i weigh them out at have about 7g which is not much at all but i have to watch calories but apparently a small amount every day is better than nothing, hope this helps you out 🙂
