I like nuts ! (shush) ...and have some type of them here all the time. When I went to take this photo, I didn't realize how many I actually had here and that may not be all. I also like fruit, dried and fresh, but I have to minimalize that because, you know, diabetes. I have a box of Medjool dates here now. Yum Yum! I love chips of many kinds too, but I try not to ever bring a bag home, because I have no sense when it comes to them and always eat them up too fast. This is only the edge though as I like many kinds of snacks.

Yep, I'm with your there, I always have nuts on hand for snacking, the same collection you have basically but I add pine nuts sometimes, and Brazil nuts. Dried fruit, especially apricots, is a great snack too but so high in sugar I'm limited to one little piece now and then. I enjoy it though.

Thanks for sharing!

I think I am not fibbing when I say I have never eaten a pine nut. They weren't common around here back in the day, so were not familiar to me. Of course I have seen them on cooking shows and other bloggers in other places, so I know what they are. I love Brazil nuts too, but they are not so common around here either. Once in a while some store will include them in their deluxe mixed nuts, then you buy the bag again and NOPE!... not a one. I did find one store that sold containers of just Brazil nuts and was delighted. For some reason I haven't kept them here as much.

One piece of a good thing just tends to make me mad. LOL.... It's SO unfair... ha ha

Oh... and one more thing, the Marcona almonds are fairly new to me too. I love them so much better than the common ones and they are easier to eat.

Pine nuts have a unique taste and I'm told are quite good for one's health, like with most nuts, good oils and all. Maybe you'll come across them someday and have a try.

Nuts here are very costly, not sure about there, but I've always got them around as they make such a great snack. I'd say that cashewware my favourite but they're also the highest in carbohydrates so not the best for a type 1 diabetic to eat. I love them, but always balance them out with the others. One needs to be sensible, sometimes.
