I really like eating nuts. My favorite is salted pistachios. I really love eating salted macademia nuts as well. I first tasted these when I was in Australia. Other nuts I like to eat unsalted like hazel nuts, pecans, walnuts, Brazil nuts and almonds. I find cashew nuts nice if I just eat a few. I like peanuts but they give me a stomach ache so I choose not to eat them. Do you like to eat nuts? Which types of nuts do you like to eat? Which is your favorite? Do you know anyone with a nut allergy? A peanut allergy can be serious. Thanks.

I love nuts too! My favourites are cashews, but they are lethal because you can't eat just one or two, I like to have a packet, although they are good as part of a healthy diet, they are loaded with fat and calories too! So if you are watching your weight these are a no go. I like most nuts and around Christmas nuts especially those big fat jumbo peanuts are stocked up! I used to like those nuts you have to shell, monkey nuts, but the husks get everywhere!

I also love eating nuts... especially cashew nuts and pistachios... but these two are quite expensive in my country... so i only get to eat them when they are inside chocolates or when relatives from abroad send them to us... Peanuts are quite cheap so i get to eat a lot and in various preparations... like, salted, roasted, fried, covered in sugar, etc, etc... My friend once sent me macadamian nuts from hawaii and they tasted so good... but i think that is one of those rare moment in my life where i get to taste something that good...

It is a shame that nuts can be expensive sometimes. Wow! You get many different preparations for peanuts. You must be delighted when friends send you delicious nuts. The macadamia nuts from Hawaii must have been wonderful. Many thanks for your excellent response.

Oh yes, almond nuts are meant to be very good for you. Peanuts are the cheapest nut to buy in my country.

Yes, I enjoy eating nuts and seeds. Seeds and Nuts are laden with nutrients. I like peanuts, pecans, almonds, walnuts, brazil nuts, macadamia, etc. I can eat peanuts aka groundnuts raw, boiled, roasted, toasted, in sauces, etc! I like peanuts and sometimes crave for peanuts! I believe allergic reactions to seeds and nuts are often the result of additives during processing or additives as pesticides. I do not believe that any natural food of itself can cause the kind of allergic reactions we often see. Just as in the case of weight gain and eating, the things we usually put in or on foods are usually the culprit of our problems.

I think walnuts are quite similar to pecan nuts. I like to eat both of these very much.

I like cashews the best if they are roasted till slightly brown and crunchy, with plenty of oil and salt I like other kinds too they have a ton of calories, other than that they are great for you

Many thanks for your super response. Yes, cashews taste much nicer when they are roasted instead of just being raw.

I love nuts. My favorites are almonds, macademia nuts, and peanuts. I also love sunflower seeds. Nuts are a power food and they contain vitamins and minerals that are needed for weight loss. If anyone here does the Ab diet they are one of the 12 foods that are needed for weight loss.

I like all kinds of nuts. I especially love pistachios. The red ones that get my fingers and my mouth all red. That's half the fun in eating them. My second favourite is cashews. I buy them in a can and eat a handfull of them almost every day. So does my hubby, love to eat nuts. His favourite is the cashews.

I like eating nuts, my favorite nuts are almonds and walnuts. My son is very picky about snacks, but he likes walnuts. At first he refused to eat peanuts, and we told him that peanuts are walnuts' brother. So after that, he also likes eating peanuts:) When we want him to eat something, perhaps we will say it's walnut's sister, father, mother etc:) Sometimes it can work, but sometimes he is still very stubborn.

I actually don't like nuts, though since you meantioned salted pistachios I do like those. Other kinds of nuts I don't like. Cashews are actually my favorite. I actually don't know of anyone who has an allergy to nuts.
