You have to be nuts not to be eating nuts (pun intended)! Nuts are super-nutritious for you, easy to carry around, and delicious. With so many varieties of them, it’s hard to tell which ones are the cream-of-the-crop when it comes to nutritional punch.

We did the research, and we picked out the 5 “core” nuts that you should be eating daily to give you that daily punch you need for maximum energy at minimum cost.

Raw Almonds
Want to have “wolverine” like energy? Take about 40 raw almonds a day. Avoid the salted kind.

Brazil Nuts
Brazil nuts cover your daily selenium (a powerful antioxidant) requirements by 7 fold. No, literally! One ounce of brazil nuts will cover your track by 777%. Are you feeling lucky?

Cashews
Asides from being able to use cashews for stir fry dishes and other delicious meals, cashews are heart-friendly. Low fat content, and the fat that is contained is of extreme health benefit to the heart.

Walnuts
Also super good for the heart and circulation.

Hazelnuts
Good as a source for Vitamin and generally good for the heart and muscles.

    wow I love nuts….When I was a kid coz I really love eating nuts , I had numerous anecdotes about nuts,
    In our ancestral home the house was surrounded by many different fruit bearing trees and one of those is the cashew tree ( local name-kasoy ). I was only 5 years old then, and I’ve observed well, I’ve noticed that after my aunts and cousins finished eating the cashew fleshy fruit they would gather all the seeds into a net bag and hanged it to the pantry near the furnace like oven.

    I could not keep my eyes off those seeds, which I think was weighing less than 5 kilos hanging just there untouched. One morning when my grandmother was feeding the coop they were 50 of them, along with 10 hens. Out of my cravings for those cashew nuts , I’ve roasted 10 pcs. all of a sudden, I’ve heard commotions and my grand mother was yelling and running towards me and took all the cashew nuts off the amber and placed it inside a bucket full of water and covered it fast..

    As a kid I was horrified and asking myself what was going on, and what trouble did I make at the time. I was totally clueless coz no one ever told me that the fume of the roasted cashew nuts is a poison for the chicken. It’s like a tear-gas. that night I was so guilty coz one chicken had died…….
