Awww, nuts!

Date: March 27, 2012 12:48AM I'm curious.
Do you eat nuts? What kinds? How much? How often? Are you going for specific nutrients? Or do you just like them? If you avoid them is it because of calories or what?

Date: March 27, 2012 01:51AM I eat raw, unsalted almonds and hemp and sunflower seeds. My diet is healthy, my skin is glowing, all my vitals are excellent, sex-drive is high, so on and so forth...No need to get all bothered over enjoying some of that stuff. I think that I've been doing this health thing long enough that my cravings are dictated by what my body needs. Re: Awww, nuts!

Date: March 27, 2012 05:55AM I try to get a nice serving of brazils in at least once a week, for the selenium. Selenium is SO important for brain function and synergizes with melatonin.
Also, zinc. Pumpkin seeds in the salads. Not a lot, just enough to always keep some amount floating around in my diet. Nuts and seeds are awesome sources of minerals. They get a lot of bad rap with the 8-1-1 crowd, but I think adding them modestly and intelligently really does the body good. If I'm having nuts, I also almost always try to ferment them. They digest much better, and who doesn't love some extra probiotics?  *raw pizza cheese dance*Re: Awww, nuts!

Date: March 27, 2012 11:32PM Does anyone crack their own nuts? I feel that would be fresher, cheaper and more delicious. Re: Awww, nuts!

Date: March 28, 2012 12:37AM We do sometime, that's ok for snacking but not so much for recipes, lol. No way I'm cracking a cup of nuts before I make a whole dish of something, that would take forever! Re: Awww, nuts!

Date: March 28, 2012 12:39AM When I was young we often had mixed nuts on our coffee table with a cracker. I don't see them in packs like that now.
As a comment on freshness, I recently I got some shelled almonds that were the freshest I've ever had. They were moist and very tasty. Fresh pecans taste sweet to me. It's frustrating to get rancid nuts.

They were going to make a chia Rush Limbaugh, but not enough hair.  Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
