    Peanuts don't grow on trees so do they not count?

    Technically peanuts are not a true nut. Cashews either.

    Hazelnuts don't grow on trees either.

    Yes they do:

    My favorite is pistachios. I buy them already shelled, as they can make quite a mess otherwise! I can eat 1/4 cup and for some reason they fill me up for a good couple of hours. I also keep sliced almonds on hand to add to my salads. Pecans can be a lot of fun to pick up from the ground where pecan trees abound and crack while you're with a crowd (or just by yourself!), but pecans are precious to me for baking, which is all I use them for. I'm not fond of walnuts for some reason. Peanuts are a legume, not a nut, but I LOVE LOVE LOVE boiled peanuts!!! They will be one of my rewards when I get to maintenance, hah! I didn't know cashews weren't a nut, otherwise I would mention that as well.

    I eat pretty much all kinds of nuts. I eat a serving usually every single day. My favorite is the Blue diamond lightly salted roasted almonds. (only 40 sodium a serving). The bad of eating nuts is the sodium in my book, so I try to get light or no salt nuts. sometimes it is baking nuts (no salt). Right now, I have the almonds, spicey cajun pistaccio's, no salt pistaccio's, peanuts (not really a nut, but to me it is), and pepita's (kernel (green) seed out of sunflowers). I also will get cashews, hazelnuts, pecan's etc.

    Pistachio's, Walnuts, Almonds

    I love nuts! I don't mind the fat, just wish they had less calories and salt :neutral_face:

    Cashews are my favorite nut/nut butter, but I have a huge selection on hand at all times. I love nuts!

    I love nuts but typically only buy peanuts since I'm cheap and impoverished. I also love peanut butter and Nutella. I usually have all 3 every day since they are an easy way to rack up some calories. Peanut butter on apple slices is great.

    Brazil nuts are my favourites. 4 of those as a snack makes me ever so happy.
