The Mayo newsletter I just received had a chart on the different nuts.

Mom always makes Chex Mix at Christmas. I remember as a kid she would
get mad at everyone for only eating the cashews out of it. The best part
of the cashew was the salt clinging to it imo. It is a very oily nut and
I used to get nausea after eating a few.

My favorite is pecans. They dont have a strong flavor by themselves
(great with cheddar cheese sticks) are soft enough to chew easily and
have lots of crevices to hold spices if you want to jazz them up a
little-they can go from savory to sweet depending on the spices. I love
pecans in maple syrup.

I don't like raw almonds but love the flavor-I like amaretto, and love
things like almond croissants with a sweet almond paste inside. I did
buy a container once of dark chocolate cocoa covered whole almonds. It
was ok-needed something sweet with it.
