    I found this recent article about the 6 best nuts identified by the USDA: http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/6029190/6_best_healthiest_most_nutritious_nuts.html?cat=5

    ALMONDS top the list. There's no ranking of the other 5, because all of them provide superb benefits compared to other nuts not on the USDA's top 6 list. They are pistachios, hazelnuts, peanuts, pecans, and walnuts (my personal favorite - they're the only nuts with extremely high levels of Omega 3 fatty acids)

    woah what a useful article! will definitely be going back to this. thanks!

    Walnuts, high in Omega-3s. 7 halves = approx 93 cals. Roasted soy nuts are also high in Omega-3s. Peanuts are actually a legume, and some sources say they can be carcinogenic due to mold that grows on the plant. I've switched to almond butter.
