So tried to look up some information only difference i found was vitamins and Gi value
almonds= 0
cashews =22
peanuts = 14
and a [+2/-2 ]slight difference in mono/poly fats
one site said...
"And not only did the almond meal increase antioxidant levels, but unlike the other foods, almonds also lowered the rise in blood sugar and insulin seen after eating. "
meal consisting of
"3 test meals (almonds and bread, parboiled rice, and instant mashed potatoes)" vs a "bread control meal"
from
whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=foodspice&dbid=20
So if money is an issue
where peanuts cost 2$lb
cashews 7/lb
almonds 8/lb
so is it a big deal to just eat peanuts? or does it matter what diet your on, for instance im on the game over cut diet.

i do almonds, walnuts, and peanut butter. here's a URL i found. basically says the above 3 nuts are the best.
They’re good for us, but which nut is the best?

From a vitamin standpoint that is right on. Almonds, Peanuts, then cashews.

How are pistachio (sp?) nuts for you? Unfortunately, I really hate almonds...

Peanuts, Peanuts, Peanuts!!!
I don't know of anyone that can't stand Cashews, but I know that I can't stand them!
The Peanut is the most versatile with its understated flavor rather than the overly rich and sweet Cashew.
Don't really like the Almond much either, but I think Pistachios totally rock!
As far as nutrition is concerned:
1. Almonds
2. Peanuts
3. CashewsLast edited by lifeonward; 12-27-2009 at 01:16 AM.

This thread makes me despise my nut allergy I've only been allergic for a little over a year.
Back in the day, I went with plain, raw almonds. Best food in the world in my opinion. Cashews were hard to find plain so the saltiness of them made them so addicting I'd finish one of those giant tins in a couple of days. Oh, but natural peanut butter is heaven on warm oats
Almonds for me are the winner
