These are the words of a famous commercial. What kind of nuts do you like to eat..when you "feel like a nut?" I like regular peanuts,,but am also found of cashews. I will eat just about any kind of nut though. They are good for you and a good source of protein.although a bit high in fat.

@Kandae11 Boiled Peanuts are widely eaten in parts of the South. There is a gas station not too far from here that stews them and they are flavored..some day I might get brave and ask them if I could try a sample.

I love cashews, pecans, walnuts, macadamia nuts (thanks to my time in Hawaii), and peanuts. Unfortunately, thanks to IBS (irritable bowel syndrome), I have to be very, very careful about eating them.

I see..My digestion seems good..particular foods don't bother me..but eating late at night, that is another story..so I don't do that.

@snowy22315 -- the thing I can't understand is that, unlike those minute seeds on strawberries, you can chew a nut into oblivion before you swallow, so how does my colon know I just ate a walnut?

I like them all! When I can treat myself I get nuts from Winco's bulk bin department. They have a "deluxe" nut assortment with no peanuts that's actually cheaper than the price of canned nuts. I particularly like walnuts and hazelnuts.

My only problem is when I get nuts..I tend to gobble them down. The recommended serving size is not very big.

@dragon54u That is what I need to do, employ some kind of strategy.

@snowy22315 I know--me, too! I solved it by getting a couple of small, shallow bowls that hold about 1/4 cup of nuts when I dip it into the bag--not piling up of the nuts!! That reminds me of the serving size and also makes me eat them more slowly since I can see the nuts disappearing from the dish. 95% of the time I will stop when all the nuts in the dish are gone. The other 5% of the time I will just have an extra half-dish. It's a good way to enforce limits for me.

I love cashews and pistachio, so darn good. I recently bought some chocolate covered cashews but you can't even taste the nut for the chocolate, so I won't be getting those again,.
