    Walnuts. They boost my mood noticeably.

    Cashews and almonds for me. I don’t know how to rank them as far as which are healthiest so I just go for the pleasure of eating them.

    My go-to nut is the walnut because I like the taste of it and it's not a nut I overeat on ... there are other nuts that I enjoy but will overeat on them ... and as nuts are high in calories I don't want to overeat on them.

    I’ve gotten really into pecans the last few months. They’re very versatile!

    Cashews and pistachios!

    ETA: Those are my favorites. Why are you only concerned with “our man’s” favorite?

    Cashew but I eat more pistachios because you have you work for them. :)

    Macadamias but pistachios are so good too.

    Favorites: walnuts, pistachios, almonds, macadamia, cashews

    Healthiest? If I had to choose I'd say walnuts and almonds. There's a lot to be said for variety, though.

    I don't even know how you pick one... cashews, pecans, walnuts, peanuts, almonds, Turkish pistachios, probably in that order. Put chocolate on the cashews or almonds, game over.

    I'm with you Melissa!! Seems cruel to rank them. They are all so lovely...and fattening. I can't moderate them. Have you had the Ghirardelli chocolate covered sea salt cashews? OMG Yummmm

    Has always been pecans, but walnuts come closer and closer. Quit eating peanuts for a while. No reason, really. They're a treat, not a staple now.

    Macedamia are my all time favourite but they are so expensive. Cashews and almonds are also great. I love pistachios but find it really hard to find unsalted ones? Peanuts and brazil nuts are the only two I am not that fond of.

    I get roasted mixed nuts (unsalted, no peanuts), but I sure do weigh each serving. I figure this would offer the benefit of all incorporated varieties.

    I developed a sensitivity to nuts, so I am staying away at the moment. I used to gravitate toward hazelnuts, Brazil nuts, and pecans...yum I miss them!

    I pretty much survive on pecans and almonds, I might start introducing macadamia as they are getting such a good review. :+1:

    That's a tough call. I've never tasted a nut I didn't like and I love many of them. But I think I'd go with pecan as my favorite.

    They are all healthy. I don't think one is inherently healthier than that another.
