I haven’t always enjoyed nuts.   As a child my siblings taught me to pick the nuts out of things, but once I started truly tasting the nuts I found I actually like them.

I have learned a couple of things about nuts I want to share with you.

#1 Nuts are a good source of protein.

#2 They can easily travel in trail mixes and on their own for snacking.

#3 Store raw nuts in the freezer if you plan on keeping them a long time.

#4 Raw nuts are healthier than roasted nuts.

#5 Sometimes you need a roasted nut anyway.  Let’s face it.  They are just good!
