    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.

    Pistachios, but I love them all. I tend to eat cashews and almonds and walnuts often, as well as pistachios.

    Don't know if the brand is available in your area, but I get Setton Farms Unsalted Pistachios at my local Jewel grocery store:

    You can also order unsalted pistachios on Amazon.

    Peanuts. They're pretty high in protein (which is something I struggle with), and not too expensive. So they're a staple. (eating some right now haha).

    But almonds and cashews are my favourite occasional/treat nut. But especially if they have salt, I can't stop myself from going to town on them, so they are not very healthy at that point haha.

    For me, cashews first, peanuts second. However, my body doesn't digest cashews very well (and I do find it hard to eat them in moderation), so stick to just peanuts now. Occasionally I'll have some walnuts.

    My faves are pistachios, cashews and peanuts. Almonds are tasty if they're flavored. Blue Diamond Soy & Wasabi Almonds are the bomb.
