I couldn't find nuts, but I did keep a jar of eyeballs on my desk at work.

If you’re looking for a healthy snack, nuts might be the answer.
A new study from European researchers in the journal BMC Medicine says eating a handful of nuts a day can cut down on several health risks.
Data from more than 800,000 people who ate all kinds of nuts, including hazelnuts, walnuts and peanuts, shows they cut their risk of dying from heart disease by nearly 30 percent and cancer by 15 percent.
The risk of premature death was also 22 percent lower for people who ate nuts.
“It’s quite a substantial effect for such a small amount of food,” study co-author Dagfinn Aune said.
Even though some nuts are high in fat they also have lots of fiber and protein, and may reduce a person’s risk of obesity over time.
I've been using various nut butters for years. And it's easy to make your own.

Bill should have dumped Hill and stuck with Monica.

Those encased in dark chocolate satisfy all culinary and medicinal needs.
Because I have the market cornered on those other nuts. ;-D

Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don’t.
So does that mean you can eat peanuts but not the others like walnuts, cashews, pecans etc.?
It’s the way the media runs health stories. One day this is good for you the next it’s not. I like cashews mostly followed by walnuts.
You read stories on how people, mostly women, live to a hundred or better and eat/drink whatever they wanted.
Thank you! I had no idea. Will shop around for some. Then when I know what to aim for, maybe I can try a homemade version.
Not saying my kitchen skills are not what they should be...but I can envision, 50 years from now, the family at Christmas...they’re surreptitiously handing it off to some poor canine, that shoe polish that Granny Buttons calls “nut butter.”
I like pistachios, peanuts, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, and walnuts. Oh, and almonds! Except for the walnuts, they are all covered with salt! Yummm
I eat raw almond butter. Love it. Cashew butter is good, but very glycemic. Walnut butter is very dry...
Lol, I once gave my mother a peanut butter making machine and she used it for several years, making PB from parched peanuts.
vitacost.com has some of the best prices online and they ship from North Carolina and Nevada. And you can probably find almond butter at least at most health food stores and maybe some larger supermarkets.
Almond, hazelnut and cashew butter are all available in food stores around here. Walnut butter doesn’t ring any bells.
Some healthfood stores carry a variety of nutbutters...usually raw nut butter. They aren’t difficult to make, either. Try running your favorite search engine to find outlets for ready made nut butters, or recipes for making your own.
If you want an expert on “nuts”, just call Hillary Clinton. She has a whole box full of them, and other things.
Or in TV police language, “franks and beans”.
I guess you're looking in the wrong places. I've seen almond and cashew butter at grocery stores. Trader Joe's has several "different" nut butters as well.
So Don Lemon and Anderson Cooper should be pretty healthy, if I’m not being too subtle.
We use walnuts, pecans and cashews for small snacks.
