Favorite Nut?

Post by Jen Cowhig »

Do you have a favorite nut? Do you commonly use it in baking or do you just snack on it?

I think I enjoy cashews the most as the but by themselves even though I don't have them a lot or use them in cooking. They just are kinda expensive where I live and I don't have disposable snack money for the fancy nuts. Cashews are always the first to go when I eat trail mix with them in them as they just are my favorites. I also love peanuts, just salted as a snack or as peanut butter (I really love peanut butter). However, if I was going to bake I typically pick up walnuts. I use walnuts a lot when making banana bread (though it's not something I always add) or as a topping for brownies or fudge.

I love any kind of nuts. I use it for snacking or I’ll use it in baking or salads as well.

Peanuts! They are tasty and versatile. I love peanuts in all of its forms, especially peanut butter! I could eat peanut butter sandwiches all day.
Be yourself and dream big; maybe it won’t be a dream one day :tiphat:

I love peanut butter! While I enjoy peanut butter sandwhiches and they tend to be my go to, they aren’t my favorite sandwich and for me is just the safe easy choice. The peanut butter food I could eat all day is peanut butter cookies. Unhealthy I know but I love them

As a nut butter, pistachio butter is my favorite. For desserts, I like hazelnuts. Pine nuts are a luxury when I can get them. As an all-around and affordable favorite, I find the flavor and texture of pecans most pleasant.

I love walnuts, cashews, pecans, peanuts, Brazil nuts, macadamia, pine nuts. I also love peanut butter and almond butter. I can eat any of these raw as snacks, sprinkled in a salad, added to smoothies, or used in a cooked recipe like rice or quinoa, and baked in cookies!

Almonds!
Soaked almonds to have early morning is nutritious, roasted ones for the evening snacks are yumm and almonds in powdered form (and other nuts sometimes) adds life to my night time oat meal.
Benefits of almonds are quite many btw!

I live in Central Texas. We get pecans straight off the trees or pick them up off the ground. Love cracking them and eating them.

Pistachios! I tend to have them around the holidays, but they are just delicious. I enjoy eating desserts with pistachios in them, but my favorite way to eat them are just as they are.

I love all types of nuts but my favorites so far are almonds, pecans and walnuts. I snack on them or put them in salads and desserts.
