My mother taught me to like almond nuts when I was a little child. Mom would comment, "Almond nuts are delicious, but like peanuts, they are fattening." It's odd how kids take their parents' words at face value. Recent PBS nutrition programming demonstrated how she was mistaken. These facts completely blew my mind. More intriguing facts came to light due to my decision to do more research on the subject.
To start, almonds are not nuts. They are seeds. What is a nut in reality?
A nut is a type of dried fruit with one seed enclosed in a tough shell. Acorns, hazelnuts, and chestnuts are a few varieties of nuts. The same family as chickpeas, lentils, and peas includes peanuts.
Food treatment includes nuts, seeds, drupes, and legumes. One of my vegetarian friends regularly consumes a lot of nuts, seeds, drupes, and legumes to compensate for the nutrients lost by not eating meat. She is a little chunky. My late mother used to claim that cashew nuts make you fat, but I never found out why. But she is correct. According to nutritionists, eating more cashew, pistachio, pine, walnut, pecan, and macadamia nuts will help you gain weight.
Protein, good fats, and antioxidants are all abundant in nuts. Only when you eat too many of them, do you gain weight. So don't limit yourself to nuts. They can be cooked with other dishes or combined with salads. The food groups are legumes, nuts, seeds, and drupes. Breakfast must include walnuts. Walnuts are referred to as "brain food" in China. Scientific research is not the foundation of Chinese culture. Instead, it is founded on knowledge and experience passed down thousands of years from one generation to the next. It is more akin to statistics for individuals with similar experiences. The information I discover when I Google the advantages of eating walnuts makes me happy. Who doesn't love the fact that it reduces inflammation and cholesterol? The healthiest food in the world, according to one headline. Vitamin E is abundant in it protecting heart issues. My morning would be incomplete without 10 walnuts combined with oatmeal, flaxseed powder, and black sesame seed powder. It lessens inflammation because it contains anti-inflammatory ingredients.
The pricey nuts
Macadamia nuts are seeds, not nuts, similar to cashew nuts. These two seeds take a long time to harvest. Hence they are both pricey. Apple fruit has cashew nuts affixed to it. The cashew inside the shell is not edible when the apple is ready to be eaten. Therefore, you must decide between the fruit and the cashew. Since they can earn more money by waiting for the cashew, most farmers prefer to do so. Because the shells of cashew nuts contain some poisons, harvesting them is challenging. To remove the poison and preserve the seed, farmers must gently roast the.
When I buy these nuts, I try to find their authentic flavour, preferably unsweetened and unsalted, but roasted. It's simple to bite into and digest roasted nuts and seeds.Those covered in chilli or other sauces are avoided by me. I object to coated nuts, seeds, and drupes since the coating can conceal the food's staleness. The original flavour of the food is destroyed if it is coated with other materials. Second, additional seasonings may heighten your appetites by arousing your taste senses. Eating in excess is bad.
Although nuts, seeds, and drupes are good for you, I wouldn't recommend eating them in huge amounts, especially if you eat them daily. For example, I don't eat more than 10 walnuts every day. It's best to eat everything you eat in proportion. So enjoy being with crazies, but avoid those who will drive you crazy.
