You buy a can of mixed nuts, take off the lid, reach in. What is your favorite nut to take out. Mine is a cashew/cashews

[debm55]

4. Cashews and walnuts next...

Mmmm......

[debm55]

6. Thank you wcmagumba.Enjoy.

[HappyH]

7. I usually just lick the salt off of them

and put them back in the can.

[debm55]

8. That's gross.

[HappyH]

9. Hey, the wife has been told to watch her salt intake.

I try to help as I can.

[debm55]

10. Then get saltless nuts.

[HappyH]

16. She buys them.

I promote peace and happiness by not questioning her shopping. You could tell her if you want, but I’ll need a little lead time to plan a fishing trip for when you do. 😀

[sakabatou]

11. Almonds. Ugh.

[debm55]

12. Thank you sakabatou.

[sorcrow]

13. Cashews for sure

My bestie at work liked mixed nuts, but cashews not so much.

If she got mixed nuts, she dutifully pulled out the cashews and gave them to me.

Best regards,
Sorghum Crow

[debm55]

15. Thank you very much sorcrow. That was very nice of her. Cashews are number one for me.

[rog]

14. Brazil nuts ...

... followed by cashews and hazelnuts/filberts.

But what I've been doing lately is adding unsalted mixed nuts to unsalted organic peanut butter and spinning it up in a food processor with cacao powder, ginger, garam masala, and fennel seed. That is a morning guilty pleasure, with fresh fruit on whole grain toast with a cup of coffee.

[debm55]

17. Thank you rog. That sounds delicious. Enjoy.

[LoisB]

18. Brazil nut.

[debm55]

19. Thank you very much, LoisB.

[WestMichRad]

[UTUSN]

23. Cashews & pecans - least, Brazil

Surprisingly available cashews in the mix, nearly nothing pecan *pieces*. But the mixed nuts are a staple for different meal venues - cereal flakes, frozen pancakes, both with added sprinkles of dried craisins and non-fat milk (lesson from Hippies, "Milk fat is the WORST fat!" ) . But the all knowing internet says that cashews are BAD! Two Brazils at 3 P.M. for Lucky the dog - and he KNOWS the time - of whom more in another thread. Other lesson from Hippies at the end, this one *not* complied with, "Don't eat fried food!"

[debm55]

28. Thank you very much, UTUSN. I will read the other thread about Lucky the dog. Let me know when you find the can with the

whole pecans instead of the pieces.

[3catwoman3]

24. Cashews - no contest.

I recently bought a jar of chili-lime seasoned peanuts from HomeGoods by a company called Belmont. Really tasty. I lucked into a second jar when I went back, which surprised me, because things are always hit-or-miss at places like HomeGoods -you can get something once, and then never see it again. Turns out you can order from Belmont's website, which I plan to do They have lots of different flavors, some of which sound quite appealing.

30. Oh those sound sooooo good, Thank you 3catwoman3. I am going to go to the website and see what else they have.

[John Coktosten]

My favorite!

[debm55]

31. Thank you John Coktosten. And a big welcome to the Lounge.

[DaBronx]

29. Cashews and a snake :)

When I was a kid I had a fake can of mixed nuts. It looked real! There was a fake snake that sprang out when the lid was unscrewed.
Maybe some of you remember those?

[debm55]

34. HAHHAHAHAHA. DaBronx. Remember it, I had a snake in the nut can. It was a PITA to get the snake back in.

[DaBronx]

37. It was!

[The Madcap]

32. Pecans

Followed by walnuts

[debm55]

35. Terrific choices and thank you The Madcap.

[choie]

[True Dough]

[debm55]

42. Thank you, True Dough. But I will always remember this day, 9/29/2025 as the day I got you. HAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHA

[Ilsa]

41. Cashews and Brazil nuts. nt

[debm55]

43. Thank you llsa. Great selections, Enjoy.

[ProfessorGAC]

44. You're In Trouble...

...if I get to the can first.
No cashews for you!
I buy canned cashews for Asian cooking, we're so into them.
My actual favorites are macadamia, Brazil, & pistachio nuts, but those are seldom in mixed nuts.

[debm55]

45. HAHAHAHAHHA. Thank you very much. I like pistachio nuts, too.Thanks ProfessorGAC.

[soldierant]

46. Since you like cashews and pistachios,

(and I do too) I should probably tell you that they are less related to nuts like almonds, walnuts, and the other mixed nuts than they are to poison ivy. Yes, they are in the poison ivy family. But don't panic. The rash-inducing oil never gets inside their shells (which is why you never see them sold in the shell, as you may do with other "tree nuts.&quot People who are allergic to tree nuts can often tolerate cashews and pistachios.

Peanuts are not related to any of them. Peanuts are a bean, like lentils, kidney beans, navy beans, et cetera. People can be allergic to peanuts (as I am) and still tolerate all the tree nuts and cashews and pistachios. (If you are allergic to peanuts and crave peanut butter, the closest substitute is sunflower butter.)

I'm sure that's far more than you wanted to know. 🤣

[debm55]

48. OH wow, Thank you very much soldierant, You posted excellent information for us.Great post

[Emile]

47. Pecans and cashews first, peanuts last.

[debm55]

49. Thank you very much, Emile

[beemerphill]

50. Cashews!

followed closely by the filberts.

[debm55]

69. Thank you very much beemerphill. And enjoy your cashews and filberts.

[pnwest]

51. I go for the M & M's .. oh wait...

you said mixed nuts, not trail mix....
Yeah, I'm a cashew girl all the way.

[debm55]

63. HAAHAHHAHAHA I go for the M & M in trail mix too. Cashews for me and thee.

[Permanut]

52. The first thing I do is take out all of the almonds.

and put them in the garden for mulch.

[debm55]

62. HAHAHAHAHHA. Thank you Permanut.

[MIButterfly]

53. Cashews! Every day and twice on Sunday!

[debm55]

61. Thank you very much MIButterfly. Cashews are my favorite too.

[badhair77]

54. It has to be cashews.

I like walnuts in cookies and coffee cake but not so much in a can of mixed nuts.

[debm55]

59. Thank you badhair77. Yes, it;s the cashews.

[pandr32]

55. Everythng but the cashews.

i leave them for the hubby.

[debm55]

58. Thank you pandr32. And my hubby leaves me the cashews

[LastDemocratInSC]

56. I refer to cashews as "sneeze nuts".

[debm55]

57. HAHAHAHAHHa, Thank you LastDemocratinSC. But they are so good.

[skylucy]

60. Cashew and peanuts.

When I buy trail mix, I always pick out the cashews and peanuts. I leave lots of raisins for my husband who is starting to get suspicious.

[debm55]

67. Thank you very much, skylucy. HAHAHAHAHAH. That's funny.

[Bluestocking]

64. Walnuts

I noticed no one said peanut. Half the nuts in mixed nuts are peanuts. So annoying

[debm55]

65. I know. It is. Thank you Bluestocking for sharing.

[doc03]

66. Brazil nuts

[debm55]

68. Thank you very much doc03 and enjoy.
