Almonds, cashews, or peanuts

[Holden]

Which is best for cutting, or just overall best choice?

[collegeHULK]

personally i find almonds the most filling.

[KryptoKnight]

I'm not sure exactly but I hear almonds are the best, in moderation of course. Nuts are great when you don't go too many as they are mostly fat.

They all have their good points.

Almonds are the healthiest, but when it comes to food, variety is the best thing. Eat all 3. Walnuts, too.

Probably the biggest problem bodybuilders make when it comes to healthy eating is not enough variety.

Good call!

Cashews are the worst I think, almonds and peanuts are both good. Almonds have more healthy fat, and peanuts have more protein, so they're a better choice as a snack.

Almonds are the best tasting and seem to be universally preferred.

I was reading a nutrition book written by some hippy and he recommends soaking the Almonds in a bowl of water overnight. That way, the Almonds are tricked into thinking that they're germinating and they release many of their nutritional compounts (and they also absorb some of the minerals from the water).

Macadamia's taste awesome, but they're the highest in fat i think. Great if you are on keto.

That's true. I used to eat a ton of raw almonds but I couldn't digest them at all, that's because they have stuff in them that stops them from being digested. They're seeds and can't grow into trees if they're eaten, so that makes sense.

When you soak em, they get rid of that stuff and it makes them much easier to digest, although some of the flavor is lost.

do you drink the water you soak them in? I would, and do u put them in the fridge or does the climate not matter

Walnuts are the best, then almonds, cashews, and then peanuts IMO

No, don't drink the water. It will be all nasty and brown.

You have to soak them for 8-10 hours (overnight), so I put them in the fridge. Otherwise I think they might go bad. Also put a couple tablespoons of salt in the water.
