    I used to really dislike walnuts but now I'm quite partial to them.

    Plain old almonds. Drink almond milk too now I've ditched dairy.

    How do you milk an almond?

    A true nut, botanically speaking, is a hard-shelled pod that contains both the fruit and seed of the plant, where the fruit does not open to release the seed to the world. Some examples of botanical nuts are chestnuts, hazelnuts, and acorns.

    Most of what we think of as nuts aren't really nuts at all, they're drupes! eg peaches, plums, cherries, mangoes, olives, dates, coffee, coconut, cashes, pistachio, brazil, walnuts, almonds, and pecans. A drupe is a type of fruit in which an outer fleshy part surrounds a shell (what we sometimes call a pit) with a seed inside. The ones we think of as nuts are the drupes in which we eat the seed inside the pit instead of the fruit!

    Peanuts are not nuts—they are members of the legume family, hence related to peas. The shells are pods, and the peanuts are seeds.

    Surely everyone knew that, didn't they?

  • I learn so much stuff on this site!
    I don't think you can beat a honey roasted cashew.
    The Brazil nut (in its shell still) made a reappearance last Christmas. For some reason you could only buy them already shelled for years.

    Cashews and pistachios but I like them all except for macadamias.

    Almond butter is tons better than peanut butter but sadly us much more expensive.

    Quite easy to make at home, just chuck your nuts in a food processor and whizz them up
