I'm all about nuts, you know? I mean, they're like the ultimate snack food, right? 😊 But seriously, incorporating them into your diet can be a total game-changer. Like, did you know that some nuts are actually higher in fiber than others? It's true! Whole nuts are rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals, so try to choose those over ground or crushed ones unless you're making a specific recipe.

And cooking with nuts is key - it brings out their flavors and textures. I personally love using peanuts in stir-fries and curries because they're so versatile. Almonds are great too, crunchy and flavorful. But be careful when choosing your nuts, some can be pretty pricey. Buying them in bulk or shopping at discount stores can help.

One thing that really caught my attention was the idea of "activating" nuts - I mean, is it even necessary? Apparently not! Just cook with them to bring out their flavors and textures. Oh, and stock up on cooked chestnuts in January for a sweet deal. All in all, nuts are an amazing addition to your diet, packed with healthy fats, protein, and fiber. Go ahead, get nutty! 🥜

And don't even get me started on how nuts are way cheaper now compared to back in my childhood days... it's crazy! Anyway, I guess what I'm trying to say is, incorporating nuts into your diet can be pretty easy and affordable if you just know where to look 😊.
