Raw Nuts Are Packed With Nutrients
"But store-bought roasted nuts are not. Industrial high-temperature roasting kills many of the nutrients in nuts. Buy raw and consume that way, or slow roast at home. Just spread nuts on a cookie sheet or a piece of foil and place them in the toaster oven at 165 degrees for 10 to 15 minutes (keep an eye on them to make sure they don't burn). You can add a little nutritious unrefined sea salt once you take them out".
What I Know For Sure:
What Pam Proposes: Enjoy a variety of nuts. Much like fruits and veggies, nuts have a lot of good ingredients with one type containing more of a nutrient than another. I recommend trying a nut you've never tired....maybe a brazil nut, chestnut, or beechnut. If you've never made your own almond, coconut, or cashew milk, give it a try. It's fun and you can flavor it how you like it! Here's a recipe:http://www.motherearthnews.com/real-food/how-to-make-nut-milk-zmrz13onzmat.aspx You will need cheesecloth or a nut bag to make your own homemade milk, but that's about it. You can add vanilla or your favorite flavor, cacao for chocolate milk, matcha green tea for a great little milk tea and then add honey for a tasty good-for-you after dinner snack (that can be lightly warmed or drinking on ice. If nothing there sounds good to you, get creative and come up with your own specialty blend.
