[thinkbethin]

Can't help on this one as I have an allergy to them. Not as serious as some do its just they make me cough and irritate my throat for hours after. Good luck in finding some good onesxx

 

[margaretmc]

I think any unsalted ones or dry roast would be OK because you can have peanut butter on my sheet . Thats handy because I luv them .

Almonds are high in phosphorus, which is good for the bones and teeth. Almonds are higher in calcium than all other nuts and are higher in fibre than any other nut. They are high in magnesium, containing even more than spinach. Studies have presented conclusive evidence that just a few almonds a day can help lower blood pressure.

Brazil nuts have a high selenium content, which makes their protein content "complete". This means that, unlike the proteins in most plant products, Brazil nuts' proteins contain all the necessary amino acids to foster optimal growth in humans. Selenium is also a powerful antioxidant. Brazil nuts are also a very good source of zinc. They contain high amounts of unsaturated fats.

The bulk of calories in chestnuts come from carbohydrates instead of fats. These nuts also contain small, but significant amounts of vitamin C, thiamine and riboflavin.

...Peanuts contain significant amounts of heart healthy monounsaturated fat, plant protein, fibre, magnesium and vitamin E. New studies are showing for the first time that higher monounsaturated fat diets can not only cut the risk of heart disease by 25-50%, but also help people lose weight and keep it off. Avoid packs of salted peanuts though.

...Pecan nuts are an important source of ellagic acid. They are a good low fat source of vitamin E and also have anti-cancer effects. They can also lead to lower cholesterol levels.
...Pistachios are rich in potassium, phosphorus and magnesium. They are also a good source of vitamin B6 and thiamine. These nuts also have a relatively low calorific value when compared to other nuts and are high in fibre and low in saturated fat. Pistachios also contain antioxidants in the form of phytochemicals. These plant nutrients have been associated with a decreased risk for developing chronic diseases, like cancer
...Pumpkin seeds are an excellent source of iron. It has been observed that pumpkins seeds produce a soothing effect on prostate problems and also facilitate the normal function of the bladder. They are also rich in vitamins E, C, and A.
...Sesame seeds have a high magnesium content to help steady nerves and are used in laxatives as an emollient. Some studies show that lignan, found in sesame seeds, has remarkable antioxidant effects, which can inhibit the absorption of cholesterol and the production of cholesterol in the liver. These nuts are also rich in vitamins A, E, and protein.

Walnuts have been found to lower blood cholesterol levels and change the HDL and LDL (high-density and low-density lipoproteins) in a way that is associated with decreased incidence of heart disease. One 30g serving of walnuts (about 7 nuts) provides around a quarter of the daily recommended allowance of vitamin B and is a good source of magnesium and copper. Walnuts are a good source of omega-3 fats, the healthy fats commonly found in fish.Walnuts

Carole, you missed out M&M Peanuts.

Peanut M&Ms contain significant amounts of MMMMMMM. They are 67% scrummy, and 33% yum-diddly-umptious. They are high in crunch and provide guaranteed satisfaction.

not sure if i'm allowed these post op, but looking at the nutritonal values of all these, they're high in calories and fat, but on the flip side can contain lots of the vits and mins plus protein we need, but reading thro the fitness mags i buy, they say a handful now and again won't hurt, i guess you have to limit them, and if your body says no, then knock em on the head, nuts are one of my savoury downfalls tho!!
