Go Nuts!

by Joi on January 19, 2006

A California study showed that those who ate nuts regularly suffered 50% fewer heart attacks than those who didn’t.

It’s far too easy to add more nuts to our diets not to. Bowls sitting around the house - near tvs and computers, pecans or walnuts thrown into salads, yogurt, desserts, oatmeal and cereal…..

Granted, it’d be a far cry easier if the prices would come down some. I grabbed a bag of pecans a week ago, with thoughts of pecan pie in my head. Then I saw the price reading an outrageous $6.89…the pecan pie left my head and cupcakes came rolling in!

You can thank the latest hurricanes for the pecan prices. At least almonds and brazil nuts (my favs) haven’t been affected :)

That’s true! I hadn’t thought about the connection between hurricanes and pecans, but it makes perfect sense now that you mention it.

I use almonds alot in cooking and am thankful, indeed, that they’re cheaper than pecans! -Joi
