    Soooo, I just finished off a bag of coconut-covered cashews. They were a new item. I already like them plain, so why not? Guess I'll be working out on all the things tonight. :D

    I also love almonds. I'm learning to incorporate almond flour in my baking recipes. Macadamias are pretty decent. I do enjoy walnuts for their savory undertones. Oh, pecans and pistachios are pretty good in homemade ice cream! I suppose I'll give those a whirl sans cream one of these days :)

    My favourites are salted almonds, but they're too high in calories to include in my diet on a regular basis so I save them for weekends where I'm doing really long rides.

    As it happens they are full of electrolytes, so that works. :)

    As a vegan I rely on cashew nuts, because I make mock cheese sauces with them. Although I am also quite partial to pecans and walnuts in my salads and stir fry.

    My favorite nut to eat plain is walnuts.
    I prefer other nuts in something like a trail mix, salad, baked goods, etc.

    I eat 8 unsalted almonds every morning as a snack. I love them. Tasty and easy to take with me anywhere int he world.

    I also love hazelnuts.

    For me, nuts are enjoyed as they are. I do not like them baked in to foods. I do, though, love hazelnuts on a salad.

    I absolutely hate the taste of American Black Walnuts except if they're baked in anything.

    Black walnuts are good for one thing: the wood from the tree makes great furniture.

    English walnuts are great eating!

    I was a lumber inspector back in the early 80s. Loved inspecting Black Walnut lumber. The rules were completely different from anything else.

    Hmm, tough question. I eat a lot of nuts and seeds. We have pecan trees and hazelnut bushes. Also wild black walnut trees but I don't eat those. But I probably eat more almonds than anything because they are cheap and come in such a variety of flavors. I eat a handful of almonds almost every day. But roasted and salted pecans might be my favorite.

    It would have to be walnuts. I can make Vegan alternative meats with it by soaking them in water for about 6-12 hours and mix equal parts of Walnuts and portabella mushrooms in a food processor. Then cook in a skillet with seasoning. Great for spaghetti, tacos, etc...

    I call it brain food. High in calcium and other minerals.

    Oh, I'm not vegan this sounds yummy. Do you use roasted walnuts or raw?

    I an remember countless hours spent as a child picking and hulling black walnuts. I could never eat them though because they madke itchy bumps on my tongue.

    My Great Grandmother had a 5 acre stand of black walnuts on the farm that was hers, and hers alone. Worked better for pocket money than selling eggs.

    Hickory nuts are also kind of a pain to shell and not the tastiest.

    Brazil, pistachio, walnut, pecan, almond, and macadamia. Love all of those equally.

    Macadamia, cashews, pistachios, and almonds for eating plain. Except I developed an almond allergy last year along with chia seeds for some ungodly reason. I like walnuts and hazelnuts in food. I have gotten raw thumbs from pistachio sprees before. :flushed:

    -Hazelnuts: raw or lightly roasted.
    -Blanched almonds!!
    -Roasted sunflower seeds still in shell.

    No salt added to any nut. Not because of sodium but just because I prefer not to have that taste.

    Pecans, cashews, hazelnuts,walnuts. Almonds upset my stomach horribly. I LOVE nuts though. I crave nuts, cheese, beans and seitan.

    My favourite is pistachios and cashews, but eat them on rare occasions.
    I'm more likely to eat Almonds though.

    Mmmm......I love all the nuts! My favorite though is probably pecans, followed closely by walnuts (especially in brownies!). I can eat them any which way. Simply roasted with salt, sweet, savory, etc.

    One thing I love to do is roast almonds, drizzle with a little bit of melted dark chocolate (I just melt dark chocolate in the microwave or on the stove) and sprinkle on sea salt!

    I buy bags of nuts from Costco and freeze them (I think I have 3 bags of pecans at the moment). Then I just pull out what I want to eat, thaw, roast and season. Easy portion control.

    I'm surprised there aren't any sexual jokes that I've seen lol. Anyways, almonds by far. If the peanut was actually a nut it'd be a tie.

    Planters fancy jumbo whole sea salted roasted cashews are my current addiction and I have no idea if and when it will end!
    They go great with a bottle of ice cold diet Coke.
