My favorite ones are the Planters..yes I know they are salted but oh well. I like the Pistachio Mix, this one that I buy at Walmart. They are kind of expensive but it is an occasional treat.

@luisga814 The protein in nuts is high in arginine, an animo acid which relaxes blood vessels. When your blood vessels are relaxed they can distribute blood more effectively to all parts of the body, including the brain.

Cashews are my favorite but I like most nuts. In the family lobby whatever it’s called there is as some mixed nuts with chocolate mixed on. I grabbed it for my husband when I was making my coffee.

@Kandae11 that does sound really good. These are just nuts with chocolate pieces of chocolate mixed in the bag. That is yummy to but then way you mentioned sounds a lot better.

Chocolate covered nuts are popular. They tempt you to have them one after another.

I just recently loved eating nuts. I can see some are available in grocery stores selling mixed nuts. I like the unsalted ones since I love the natural taste of roasted nuts. I have tasted all kinds of nuts except #6 I have not seen one yet. Between 1-5 my favorite are 1 and 5 and 3 also.

@Kandae11 Me too I like the mixed nuts too since you can have a variety of tastes and not just one kind. I sometimes mixed that with either raisins or dried cranberries to have a fruity taste.

Sometimes it is difficult to get them individually, so l would prefer the mixed nuts. I too would request the unsalted.

My husband refuses to quit telling this story on me when we first were getting to know each other. College days. I stupidly and innocently approached him the cafeteria. He had a bowl of nuts sitting there. I loudly said: "You sure have nice nuts!" Whoa.

I like to add nuts to the old diet. I mix the different ones as they provide a variety of vitamins and minerals. I also eat something with vitamin C as I've told that helps to release the goodies in the nuts
