Allergy Alert! Some people are allergic to nuts so seek medical advice before eating them if you are concerned
Do you enjoy eating nuts?
I love them and eat them a lot. I've never suffered from the dreaded 'high cholesterol' and found out that eating nuts will have helped with this.
The Mayo Clinic explain why, but I'll try to put it in layman's language.
Nuts contain good fat (unsaturated fat) and this fat helps to reduce cholesterol.
Peanuts aren't quite so good as other nuts but then they are a member of the legume family really.
Peanuts might have a cancer-causing mould on them and they may have been sprayed with pesticides. Check out your supplier to be sure.
It's recommended by many nutritionists that we eat a handful of nuts every day. I usually eat more than that.
Here are my favourite nuts:
