What is the most expensive nut in the world?


This is considered the most expensive nut in the world. The macadamia tree produces nuts only after seven to 10 years requiring fertile soil and heavy rainfall. These nuts have a very hard seed but once it's open it reveals a creamy white kernel containing up to 80 percent oil and four percent sugar.J


What is the healthiest nut to eat?



      • Macadamias. Macadamia nuts contain more heart-healthy monounsaturated fat per serving than any other nut. ...
      • Cashews. Cashews are very high in iron, zinc, and magnesium. ...
      • Brazil Nuts. Brazil nuts are an excellent source of selenium, which can help prevent cancer. ...
      • Almonds. ...
      • Walnuts.

For watching the football game with a beer (or two or three or four or ...) some kind of peanut, like beer nuts or honey roasted.

For health, when I'm eating right, raw almonds.

Around the holidays, I love hazelnuts (filberts). Usually only available in stores in the fall and early winter.

If you want hazelnuts year round, check out middle eastern grocery stores. For any nuts, really.

What about Beech-Nuts. Or is that even a real nut?

Edit: I guess that's a brand of baby food?

Cashews are my favorite nut by far, but I only keep Almonds around to snack on. Almonds are good enough to eat as a snack, not so good I'll eat the whole bag.
