According to this video, almonds and cashews should be avoided because of their harmful environmental, or social-political effects (namely, water resource waste, and labor-intensive harvesting). But NUTRITIONALLY, are they beneficial/harmful to HEALTH? That's what I want to know. This video lacks focus.
@@hoytbangs9425 Thanks. And it also seems that the healthier nuts (walnuts, pecans, almonds) that I want, are also the most expensive (I guess because of the pandemic's effect on distribution). A pound of walnuts recently cost me US$8, more than twice for a pound of ground beef!
It’s a woke video, just eat the ones you like and don’t worry about fat because that doesn’t make you fat. I literally eat about 1200 cal of pecans a day on top of my 1500 cal diet and people always comment on how vascular and shredded I am. This video is nuts 🥜
@@bornagain.Acts2-38 Thanks. You're right, and it seems there is always an available video to counter what the others say......no consensus.

Macadamias being relatively high in calories does not make them unhealthy. They are extremely healthy, not to mention some people might actually need to increase their caloric intake.
@@TehKaiser Exactly my thoughts. Someone is paid to spread propaganda and influence nuts consumption to in favour of specific global suppliers. This behaviour is causing many people to lose trust in doctors and dieticians.
As I research Almonds contain lots of healthy fats ,fiber,protein, magnesium, and vitamin E. The Heath benefits of almond include lower blood sugar levels, reduced blood pressure and lower cholesterol levels. They can also reduced hunger and promote weight loss.
I grew up in Morocco. My town was surrounded by organic and natural almond trees. The fruit of these trees is out this world in terms of taste and flavor, in fact Moroccans use almond that are imported from California just for cooking pastries and such. I don't know where you got the information that one nuts needs one gallon of water in order to grow but let me tell you that this is wrong because these trees are considered to be among the most resilient trees to drought and harsh weather. In fact Moroccans are currently planting them all over the country even in the Sahara. All you need to do after you plant it is water it a few times until it is successful and leave it alone. This tree will give fruit for decades to come. By the way I have 4 almond trees in my garden and I never water them. They depend on rain like others.

It's silly to worry about any of these high fat nuts; it's good fat. Besides, fat doesn't make you fat, carbs make you fat. It's about the glycemic index/impact of the food.

This video is clearly made for western populations. When you live in my part of Africa, we grow all the "bad" ones in our own land, prepare them ourselves and use them to supplement our diets. I think the intro needed a disclaimer.
You tends to eat them in moderation, westerns society grow them commercially and so eat them in huge amounts which is bad for you. I remember eating almonds in Jamaica when we go to the beach, usually about 10 in total for the week. You have to find them use a big stone to break them open it was hard work so you eat fewer of them.
I realized almost every Caribbean fruits you have on the list to avoid wandering why is that . Question which of all the good fruits you have recommended is good to remove acne ? I don't have it but lots of teenagers suffer from it .
Brazil nuts are the best source of selenium. They weren't even mentioned. NO one I know eats a cup of macadamia nuts; they're too filling to do so. And I'm going to continue to eat my almonds.
You can overdose on selenium (starts getting toxic at around 1000+% of the minimum daily recommendation of 60 to 75 micrograms) based on where the Brazil nuts were produced (including different parts of Brazil) which can result in pretty serious health effects over a long period of time. It's crazy because some Brazil nuts have less than 5% as much selenium as others do. So with some Brazil nuts, just one nut will give you 100% of your daily requirement, while with others, an entire handful won't. I wish there was a way you could tell, as actual Brazil nuts are way healthier than selenium pills. You absorb nutrients far better from food than from supplements. Most commercial Brazil nuts sold in the US come from Bolivia, which are usually on the far lower end of selenium content. It's pretty rare, but this is one of few foods that natural overdose can definitely happen if one eats certain Brazil nuts without any restrictions...
Hahaha😂 yes macadamias expensive but not as expensive as buying A very expensives purse 👜 so macadamia still affordable and i eat 10pcs a day 😊health is wealth
U dont have a valid reason to tell people not to eat almonds. The fact that it takes a lot of water to grow them? Lol what does that have to do with my health? Almonds are VERY good for the health. i will continue to eat almonds and peanuts. Cuz there’s nothing wrong with them.
Well, I disagree about the thing you mentioned about peanuts. They definitely are high in fats but doesn't our bodies need fat too? 20% of our daily calories should come from fats and if you are consuming less fat then you might face joint pains, lack of glow on your skin and various other health issues. Thank you.

Thanks for the orientation. As Europeans, I can say that we mostly consume a great many food items that contain almonds. We eat them in connection with breakfast as toppings, cakes, marzipan, etc. They are considered to be extremely healthy and are also part of dieting, albeit in limited quantities (approx. 7 pieces as a snack). We import them mainly from Spain, which grows a large production and, as far as I know, does not complain about the large water consumption. On the other hand, it happens with Avocados, which the Spaniards have chosen to reduce the cultivation of, since they require a lot of water if anything.
It didn't say almonds are not healthy.. it says uses too much of water which causes negative impact on environment. In some countries water is like gold..
@@PardeepSingh-uc8im we are talking about health or water importance? He put this piece of information on the video only to attract us I think he is doing so in many videos so I sometimes unwilling to watch the video , title don't match the content
Ever since I was diagnozed Type II my breakfast has been 1/4 cup of mixed nuts (no peanuts) and an apple and once I got acclimated to it I can say that I do not feel hungry again throughout most of the day and I know it's thanks to the nuts and not the apple. A tuna sandwich on whole wheat takes care of lunch and a serving of vegetable soup for dinner and maybe a salad and another piece of fruit during the day gets me through.
Peanuts contain resveratrol, the substance that makes red grapes so healthy. They contain monounsaturated fats with no transfats (unlike margarine and butter). They're tops for protein. My doctor frowns on butter and margarine, but he's fine with all-natural peanuts and peanut butter. They don't get treated with toxic chemicals like canola and soy oils. I'm taking my chances with aflatoxins, but I consider transfats and too many polyunsaturated oils a greater risk. When I was a vegetarian, peanuts gave me a lot of protein, alone or with sunflower seeds.
I've gone most of my life not eating nuts minus peanut butter. 2 weeks ago I finally realized there was a "nut" I actually liked which suprised me and those are pistachios (which aren't really a nut but a seed). What I have noticed after I have started eating them is that my cravings have vanished, I had an odd obsession with food before this. All I thought about was eating. But perhaps these nuts have given me the nutrients my body was lacking which made the cravings seem to evaporate. My only downfall to pistachios is that I used to be a very good sleeper and could fall asleep easily... they say pistachios have melatonin however, after starting to eat these I haven't had a proper nights sleep in 4 days because of increased energy which isn't a bad thing, just bad when you're trying to sleep.
well, this was a waste of time... flaming peanuts and macadamian nuts for the fat... These two nuts are great sources for healty fat, and if you are overwight, its ussually a insuline problem, and carbs are your enemy, fats.
Yeah, This channel in their earlier video on peanuts said that peanuts aids in weight management and promotes weight-loss Now, they are saying peanuts cause weight gain and are full of fats. We have no choice but to take the info from this channel with a grain of salt, especially with this level of inconsistency.
I am extremely relieved/overjoyed that three of the foods I have been enjoying in increased frequency recently are actually proven to be nourishing via shown from this informative Bestie video. I confess that I have been noticing increased shine to my hair, increased physical energy, and an unexpected positive boost to my metabolism after more frequently and recently eating more pecans walnuts pistacios and the way that the foods are presented in this youtube video enhance the appetizing factor of the foods presented in this Bestie video.
I am watching this video in Puerto Rico, Thank you for giving us that important information about our health. I hope to continue watching your videos. Thanks again.
Hazel Nuts are bitter when raw & still keep a bit of that bitterness when steamed/boiled/smoked ! Sunflower (seed) Butter (w/out any sweetners) are also slightly BITTER ! Most Americans are unaware of it because the 2 are mostly sold saturated in something sugary & Hazel Nuts are somehow roasted/baked down to a point that nearly all of that bitterness [& nutrishion] is cooked out of them when they go into a nut butter or a candy/chocolate /dèsèrt.
The skins in almonds are very high in lectins. I consume slivered almonds as the skins have been removed. Almond milk (just water and skinned almonds) I do drink with a bit of liquid stevia. Peanuts 🥜 are in the legume 🫘 family. No thank you. Again they are not recommended because they are also a high lectin food. Walnuts are a favorite and I do get a milk that’s simply water and walnuts. I just add stevia to sweeten. Pecans and pistachios are also on my list. It’s a plan in the near future to try making butter from both of these.
All information is not true. My grand parents have been eating peanuts 🥜 in large quantities so do i. We’re neither overweight nor unhealthy. I really think this human body is more complicated machine than we think.
As long as almonds are still stocked at my grocery stores I'll eat them until they stop growing them. I have started to eat walnuts not much on flavor but benefits out weigh this. All the other nuts on the Do not eat list I don't eat. Thanks for the info.
You want to go for black walnuts they are way better than the ones you usually find in stores but they are more expensive. Luckily I know exactly where to find some free black walnuts and I bet 99.99999999% of people in my area Don't know about theses trees location.
I checked into this Video to learn about the Nutritional Value of the Nuts...Not to get a "Political Statement...about how they harvested"...I want to know what they're doing for my Body ONLY!!!
I love hazelnut, almond,chestnut and walnut.. those are antioxidants food but I took more hazelnut, chestnut and walnut because almond is a hard nut, just careful with your teeth especially when you aging. More plant base food, more fish and no more meat or fast food..I watch what I eat nowadays😎🤗to keep healthy.
Hazelnuts are also known as filberts. Acorns are generally not eaten and they require a lot of work for them to be edible. Acorns make up a good part of traditional American Indian food and I have tried some. Chestnuts and cashews are high in carbohydrates. Horse chestnuts are never eaten. There used to be some horse chestnut trees in my neighborhood park in Jersey City. I always heard in my childhood that they were different from chestnuts and not edible. The chestnuts we eat today in America are mainly from Italy as American chestnut trees suffer from a blight. As for pine nuts and I had the bad taste experience, I had no idea what the problem was. I thought I was poisoned. Then I learned about pine nuts and that really horrible taste. It's likely that Chinese pine nuts are the main culprit. North American and European pine nuts do not generally cause that awful metallic taste in the mouth. Before eating pine nuts I ask for their provenance. When not from China, the taste is fine.
My grandma has had many Almond trees for as long as I can remember. 12 was the most at one point. These days there aren't as many. Most likely from how old they were. My grandma was the kind to not use much anything if she didn't need it. She's use slivers of sunlight coming in the house for plants, and just moved the plants when the sun moved. She didn't like to run the water and waste it waiting for it to get hot, so she would microwave the water to wash dishes (yeah, i know not the best) Those types of things. Her backyard was always soooooooo dry, there would be cracks in the dirt that went down at least a foot. I once accidentally left the faucet on with a leaky hose, didn't realize it for at least two days. The dirt that watered went out MAYBE ten feet, and I could still walk on the dirt, it wasn't muddy. These almond trees get plenty of almonds every year. ( I just have to beat the birds to the Almonds every year.) So either these trees adapted, or don't need as much water as the video is saying.
Yap It’s healthy but it’s fattening too, listen to the video, some nuts are have pros n cons. This is y if you are weight watchers is not good to eat them even its healthy.

Where do you get your information? I have read articles that say just the opposite about a couple of the nuts you placed on your don't eat list. Is your info factual or interpretive?
Wow, I new about cashews, but was shocked to hear about Almonds...over a gallon of water per almond!! That's worse than the water wasted making Coke! And it comes just after I have received a kilo of almond butter. I'll have to find an alternative from the good list. I did read a while back that the biggest buyer worldwide of hazelnuts is Ferrero Rocher for their Nutella spread. I think I'll replace the almonds with pecans though. There's a supplier in the UK (Nutural World) who use artisan methods to make their nut butters. That's where I've being buying the almond butter from and it's delicious. Thanks for the great presentation and I love the channel.
I've heard a lot about "deez", guys are always telling me I should suck on them. Maybe it makes them more digestible? Obligatory "I'm not a Doctor", ofcourse
Sadly for me, within my food allergies list are both Peanuts AND Tree Nuts (ALL Nuts EXCEPT for Almonds & Coconut, that I know of thus far might consider re-adding Pine Nuts back & see what happens, as I absolutely LOVED Pine Nuts as a kid), so thus I stick to only having Almonds or Coconut (especially love Dried Coconut)
With climate change, increasing drought conditions and half the world seeming to be on fire every summer I guess the RIGHT environment to plant almonds (which require a gallon of water PER nut to produce) would be ATLANTIS.
I eat a whole -food plant based diet and I eat nuts daily. I was surprised Brazil nuts didn't make the list as they are such a good source of selenium. Pretty high in fat and calories though so I only have a couple!
Cashew Rolls Royce of all nuts. I was having weak back.I started eating cashews. I take handful cashews,butter toast and a cup of masala tea .My problems gone. Credit goes to my favourite Indian cashews. I am 72 and weight 67kgs My Triglycerides level is only 58. Safe parameter is 150. Cashews cashews and only cashews
Walnuts make my mouth sore so I keep my contact to a minimum. I have no problem with the other nuts on the good list. I used to live where hazelnuts grow wild and you could go out and collect them for free
I love my Pistachio nuts! Eating them every day is a must do.for me! I buy them in the Garlic & Onion flavor at Trader Joes! A large bag is so affordable and delicious!
The king of nuts has got to be the Pili Nut. It has the highest magnesium content of all nuts, it's got omega 3 fatty acids and antioxidants. It's also a great tasting nuts.
One of the most common allergies for kids and adults are peanuts and products made from peanuts. I am one of those people. The problem with any nuts is we eat too many at a time! Mixed nuts w/o peanuts at Costco say 1/4 cup is a serving. That's how I don't overdo....measure! Enjoy the treat which is good for us but watch amount. They are fattening if you are concerned about weight.😊

You have to find them use a big stone to break them open it was hard work so you eat fewer of them.
I realized almost every Caribbean fruits you have on the list to avoid wandering why is that . Question which of all the good fruits you have recommended is good to remove acne ? I don't have it but lots of teenagers suffer from it
.
Yea this is also what i deduced!
Almonds are superfood! Cashews are good too! Keep eating them.
I’m allergic to both lol
This video makes me want to go out and purchase almonds, cashews, macadamia, pine nuts, and peanuts today.
Going to grab a handful of almonds right now
Hahahah don't mind all this RUclips
there you go!!!!!!!!! I have 2 bags I just bought!
Brazil nuts are the best source of selenium. They weren't even mentioned. NO one I know eats a cup of macadamia nuts; they're too filling to do so. And I'm going to continue to eat my almonds.
Who the heck can buy macadamia nuts anyway? They are expensive as f*ck!
Youre correct, one brazil gives us our required dosage of selenium....
And too expensive.
You can overdose on selenium (starts getting toxic at around 1000+% of the minimum daily recommendation of 60 to 75 micrograms) based on where the Brazil nuts were produced (including different parts of Brazil) which can result in pretty serious health effects over a long period of time. It's crazy because some Brazil nuts have less than 5% as much selenium as others do. So with some Brazil nuts, just one nut will give you 100% of your daily requirement, while with others, an entire handful won't. I wish there was a way you could tell, as actual Brazil nuts are way healthier than selenium pills. You absorb nutrients far better from food than from supplements. Most commercial Brazil nuts sold in the US come from Bolivia, which are usually on the far lower end of selenium content. It's pretty rare, but this is one of few foods that natural overdose can definitely happen if one eats certain Brazil nuts without any restrictions...
Hahaha😂 yes macadamias expensive but not as expensive as buying A very expensives purse 👜 so macadamia still affordable and i eat 10pcs a day 😊health is wealth
I eat almonds, walnuts, and pecans with Oats for breakfast everyday 😳
Don't put that emoji it will make the whole thing DIFFERENT
@@tando1432 😂
I eat them with my oats to everyday to ,but I put them in the blender or food processer and grind them into almost a powder then sprinkle them on.
I think there's no one in this world who can avoid eating peanuts.
Yeap!! Many people, the allergic 😂
The MAIN point you don't mention is the ratio of omega 6 to omega 3 content of the nuts. That is BY FAR the most important factor.
Soaking your nuts is equally as important
U dont have a valid reason to tell people not to eat almonds. The fact that it takes a lot of water to grow them? Lol what does that have to do with my health? Almonds are VERY good for the health. i will continue to eat almonds and peanuts. Cuz there’s nothing wrong with them.
Fully Agree
agree with you
Have you tried the salt and vinegar almonds by diamond? The best for me
Agree..
@@mfrank3518 omg yesss those are AMAZING😍
Well, I disagree about the thing you mentioned about peanuts. They definitely are high in fats but doesn't our bodies need fat too? 20% of our daily calories should come from fats and if you are consuming less fat then you might face joint pains, lack of glow on your skin and various other health issues. Thank you.
Peanuts are not nuts!
Yeah, and some of us do keto. Low fatters are idiots.
The fiber content is in the skins and the only way is buy them in the shell.
Ye, I disagree too. The fats in peanuts are the healthy fats. Your body needs (healthy) fat
@@mattbnez hmm. Buy them in skin! And then eat the skin cover?
I do love eating peanuts, and all kinds of nuts too. God created all things good, and eating these foods are beneficial to our body.
Yes
Woooooooooowwwwwwwww
varied balanced diet in moderation - common sense eating is the answer for most Now, God, which one? There are thousands? Time to learn about the UNiverse, formation of our Solar System, formation of the Earth and how it came that we had water, how the first living cells began millions of years ago, and then, 2500 years ago, people started believe all this shit..and still do even though we have all the science and knowledge now..LEARN the real reason we have foods...and don't be ignoramuses saying God gave us blah blah Nuts - 2 meanings

Peanuts are not a nut, but legume. I freeze nuts so they are fresh and not rancid.
Every winter I regularly eat peanut, also called monkey nut so that to make blood thinner to prevent from blood clotting and heart attack. I love to eat peanut 🙂☘️🍁🌺🌸🌹🍀
Thanks for the orientation. As Europeans, I can say that we mostly consume a great many food items that contain almonds. We eat them in connection with breakfast as toppings, cakes, marzipan, etc. They are considered to be extremely healthy and are also part of dieting, albeit in limited quantities (approx. 7 pieces as a snack). We import them mainly from Spain, which grows a large production and, as far as I know, does not complain about the large water consumption. On the other hand, it happens with Avocados, which the Spaniards have chosen to reduce the cultivation of, since they require a lot of water if anything.
oh, OH, you must be dead from all those EEEVVVVVIIIIILLLLL almonds!!!
@@donberry6079 No, I'm alive and well. Have consumed the wonderful almonds for many years and will not want to be without them!
Not really good video, almond is an healthy nut.
It didn't say almonds are not healthy.. it says uses too much of water which causes negative impact on environment. In some countries water is like gold..
@@PardeepSingh-uc8im we are talking about health or water importance?
He put this piece of information on the video only to attract us
I think he is doing so in many videos so I sometimes unwilling to watch the video , title don't match the content
@@AmalKAMALKamal exactly. He's saying its bad cus its bad for environment. Hello?... we're talkin about health here.
That's what i thought.
Almonds are very healthy. They are alkaline and have protein and healthy fat. Almond is called the “king of nuts” for a reason.
Pistachios are my favorite, I eat them everyday, they are soooo good!😊💯❤👍
Ain't no way I'm giving up my almond butter.👍
almonds are good for you dont mind that fool,
Ever since I was diagnozed Type II my breakfast has been 1/4 cup of mixed nuts (no peanuts) and an apple and once I got acclimated to it I can say that I do not feel hungry again throughout most of the day and I know it's thanks to the nuts and not the apple. A tuna sandwich on whole wheat takes care of lunch and a serving of vegetable soup for dinner and maybe a salad and another piece of fruit during the day gets me through.
Oh no, how are you doing now?
@@FemboyHasudoing good Thanks to God 🙏
Extremely valuable knowledge. Tons of thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
Why don't you do proper research before giving such advices.
Cz then he wouldn't get 1M views and 13K likes. Most of people come here to spend the time and not to get deep into nutrional issues :))
Exactly what I have been thinking
Peanuts contain resveratrol, the substance that makes red grapes so healthy. They contain monounsaturated fats with no transfats (unlike margarine and butter). They're tops for protein. My doctor frowns on butter and margarine, but he's fine with all-natural peanuts and peanut butter. They don't get treated with toxic chemicals like canola and soy oils. I'm taking my chances with aflatoxins, but I consider transfats and too many polyunsaturated oils a greater risk. When I was a vegetarian, peanuts gave me a lot of protein, alone or with sunflower seeds.
Health and environmental factors are two different issues in claiming you should not eat them.
I've gone most of my life not eating nuts minus peanut butter. 2 weeks ago I finally realized there was a "nut" I actually liked which suprised me and those are pistachios (which aren't really a nut but a seed). What I have noticed after I have started eating them is that my cravings have vanished, I had an odd obsession with food before this. All I thought about was eating. But perhaps these nuts have given me the nutrients my body was lacking which made the cravings seem to evaporate. My only downfall to pistachios is that I used to be a very good sleeper and could fall asleep easily... they say pistachios have melatonin however, after starting to eat these I haven't had a proper nights sleep in 4 days because of increased energy which isn't a bad thing, just bad when you're trying to sleep.
Peanuts aren't nuts either. They are legumes.
My breakfast is with soaked almonds, walnuts, peanuts,green peas,every day
well, this was a waste of time... flaming peanuts and macadamian nuts for the fat... These two nuts are great sources for healty fat, and if you are overwight, its ussually a insuline problem, and carbs are your enemy, fats.
Peanuts shouldn't have been mentioned as they are legumes not nuts.
You correct.....but people were programmed that fats are bad for you....
Your body needs fat too.Fats from nuts are good fat as long as it's not overdone.
Still gonna eat my peanuts and cashews💀
Sure,some of these imformations are false.
Yeah,
This channel in their earlier video on peanuts said that peanuts aids in weight management and promotes weight-loss
Now, they are saying peanuts cause weight gain and are full of fats.
We have no choice but to take the info from this channel with a grain of salt, especially with this level of inconsistency.
I am extremely relieved/overjoyed that three of the foods I have been enjoying in increased frequency recently are actually proven to be nourishing via shown from this informative Bestie video. I confess that I have been noticing increased shine to my hair, increased physical energy, and an unexpected positive boost to my metabolism after more frequently and recently eating more pecans walnuts pistacios and the way that the foods are presented in this youtube video enhance the appetizing factor of the foods presented in this Bestie video.

I am watching this video in Puerto Rico, Thank you for giving us that important information about our health. I hope to continue watching your videos. Thanks again.
You're welcome.
Thanks for watching!
Hazel Nuts are bitter when raw & still keep a bit of that bitterness when steamed/boiled/smoked ! Sunflower (seed) Butter (w/out any sweetners) are also slightly BITTER ! Most Americans are unaware of it because the 2 are mostly sold saturated in something sugary & Hazel Nuts are somehow roasted/baked down to a point that nearly all of that bitterness [& nutrishion] is cooked out of them when they go into a nut butter or a candy/chocolate /dèsèrt.
Poor research. Almonds are healthy, just eat in moderation.
They are healthy but not environment friendly...
Listen carefully dude🙄
This video gave me more reasons to eat almonds and cashews.
I love almonds ! I am a vegan over 30 years and will continue to eat almonds.
The skins in almonds are very high in lectins. I consume slivered almonds as the skins have been removed. Almond milk (just water and skinned almonds) I do drink with a bit of liquid stevia.
Peanuts 🥜 are in the legume 🫘 family. No thank you. Again they are not recommended because they are also a high lectin food. Walnuts are a favorite and I do get a milk that’s simply water and walnuts. I just add stevia to sweeten. Pecans and pistachios are also on my list. It’s a plan in the near future to try making butter from both of these.
Thanks for watching!
This was a good very video, it helped a lot as I am newly vegan an do not know anything about nuts. Thank you for making this.
Glad it was helpful!
6:16 ok but still that's not a reason to stop eating them 🥱
All information is not true. My grand parents have been eating peanuts 🥜 in large quantities so do i. We’re neither overweight nor unhealthy. I really think this human body is more complicated machine than we think.
Now I don't understand. I read that Almonds are very good for you, that's why I eat them
No nutritional issue, environmental issues. Video states each almond needs minimum of one gallon of water to grow..
All the nuts are beneficial to us. Eat variety of nuts including almonds and cashews.
Very good info.. Thanks👌👌👌
And very good nuts too
As long as almonds are still stocked at my grocery stores I'll eat them until they stop growing them. I have started to eat walnuts not much on flavor but benefits out weigh this. All the other nuts on the Do not eat list I don't eat. Thanks for the info.
You want to go for black walnuts they are way better than the ones you usually find in stores but they are more expensive.
Luckily I know exactly where to find some free black walnuts and I bet 99.99999999% of people in my area Don't know about theses trees location.
California almonds are irradiated, if that matters to you.
I checked into this Video to learn about the Nutritional Value of the Nuts...Not to get a "Political Statement...about how they harvested"...I want to know what they're doing for my Body ONLY!!!
so true.
I come from New Zealand and I love Whittaker’s Hazel Nut slabs Whittakers are a NZ chocolate maker
I grow up in Algeria usually Algerian people do not eat nuts in their daily life however I love to eat them especially walnut ❤❤❤
Almonds are great for you and highly recommended by many nutritionists and doctors. Not giving up my almonds!
I love hazelnut, almond,chestnut and walnut.. those are antioxidants food but I took more hazelnut, chestnut and walnut because almond is a hard nut, just careful with your teeth especially when you aging. More plant base food, more fish and no more meat or fast food..I watch what I eat nowadays😎🤗to keep healthy.
😄😄😄
Hazelnuts are also known as filberts. Acorns are generally not eaten and they require a lot of work for them to be edible. Acorns make up a good part of traditional American Indian food and I have tried some. Chestnuts and cashews are high in carbohydrates. Horse chestnuts are never eaten. There used to be some horse chestnut trees in my neighborhood park in Jersey City. I always heard in my childhood that they were different from chestnuts and not edible. The chestnuts we eat today in America are mainly from Italy as American chestnut trees suffer from a blight. As for pine nuts and I
had the bad taste experience, I had no idea what the problem was. I thought I was poisoned. Then I learned about pine nuts and that really horrible taste. It's likely that Chinese pine nuts are the main culprit. North American and European pine nuts do not generally cause that awful metallic taste in the mouth. Before eating pine nuts I ask for their provenance. When not from China, the taste is fine.
Another nut that is very beneficial and delicious is the Baruka nut from Brazil. It even has protein.
My grandma has had many Almond trees for as long as I can remember. 12 was the most at one point. These days there aren't as many. Most likely from how old they were.
My grandma was the kind to not use much anything if she didn't need it. She's use slivers of sunlight coming in the house for plants, and just moved the plants when the sun moved. She didn't like to run the water and waste it waiting for it to get hot, so she would microwave the water to wash dishes (yeah, i know not the best) Those types of things. Her backyard was always soooooooo dry, there would be cracks in the dirt that went down at least a foot. I once accidentally left the faucet on with a leaky hose, didn't realize it for at least two days. The dirt that watered went out MAYBE ten feet, and I could still walk on the dirt, it wasn't muddy. These almond trees get plenty of almonds every year. ( I just have to beat the birds to the Almonds every year.) So either these trees adapted, or don't need as much water as the video is saying.
Thank you so much! I was able to learn about some foods, while also learning about ecopolitics! Love you! Hugs and kisses 😔
Almonds and walnuts my daily fav, don’t even miss a single day
I just bought a big jar of peanuts because I thought it would be a healthier alternative to potato chips.
Yap It’s healthy but it’s fattening too, listen to the video, some nuts are have pros n cons. This is y if you are weight watchers is not good to eat them even its healthy.
@@anthonypike9195 Thank you, and your absolutely right. I have been playing with the house money for a long time. Unfortunately the only thing I've watched is my weight get heavier. My philosophy was, if you want it eat it. I am engaged and I'm going to continue to achieve a healthier lifestyle.
They are better than chips but opt for unsalted peanuts and watch portion size.
Where do you get your information? I have read articles that say just the opposite about a couple of the nuts you placed on your don't eat list. Is your info factual or interpretive?
Wow, I new about cashews, but was shocked to hear about Almonds...over a gallon of water per almond!! That's worse than the water wasted making Coke! And it comes just after I have received a kilo of almond butter. I'll have to find an alternative from the good list. I did read a while back that the biggest buyer worldwide of hazelnuts is Ferrero Rocher for their Nutella spread. I think I'll replace the almonds with pecans though. There's a supplier in the UK (Nutural World) who use artisan methods to make their nut butters. That's where I've being buying the almond butter from and it's delicious. Thanks for the great presentation and I love the channel.
i bought a bag of walnuts before i watched this video. i'm glad that they made the you should be eating list.
I will still eat almonds. The only reason you said is because of the water. Good thing I know water cycle.
I didn't understood what he told about water cycle my question is
Is it healthier or not eating almonds everyday??
@@shankargouda1626 almonds are good for our health. The only reason is that it needs more water for it to grow. Water scarcity.
Everyone should eat almonds and all other nuts, just in right quantity. The earth is 3/4 water so humans are supposed to utilize that anyway🤭
@Terrie huff Hiv really? your nuts
Almonds are one of the best nuts out there lmao.
I know right. This video is trashy
I've heard a lot about "deez", guys are always telling me I should suck on them. Maybe it makes them more digestible? Obligatory "I'm not a Doctor", ofcourse
You know what else causes metal taste in mouth? Being sick with the common cold. I love organic unsalted peanuts and almonds
Interesting video, I didn't know a lot of that.
Glad it was helpful!
I about spit my coffee out when he said almonds are bad because of the environment..woke channel.
Sadly for me, within my food allergies list are both Peanuts AND Tree Nuts (ALL Nuts EXCEPT for Almonds & Coconut, that I know of thus far might consider re-adding Pine Nuts back & see what happens, as I absolutely LOVED Pine Nuts as a kid), so thus I stick to only having Almonds or Coconut (especially love Dried Coconut)
Sorry to hear that
eat more liver
@@BestieHealth Almonds are very healthy so is Cashews
Brazilian nuts and walnuts recommended
LOL almonds along with every other nut is perfectly FINE 🙄
They are the highest food contaminated by pesticides unfortunately. 😢
Very Helpful Information, thank you👏🙏👏🙏
You are so welcome.
Yes I think we should eat a lot more Almonds ,they are very good when planted in the right environment.
With climate change, increasing drought conditions and half the world seeming to be on fire every summer I guess the RIGHT environment to plant almonds (which require a gallon of water PER nut to produce) would be ATLANTIS.
I eat a whole -food plant based diet and I eat nuts daily. I was surprised Brazil nuts didn't make the list as they are such a good source of selenium. Pretty high in fat and calories though so I only have a couple!
Just bought almonds ans Brazil nuts as I though they were healthy?
I eat 2 raw, organic Brazil nuts every day.
@@kegalormoonthey are dont listen to this dude more healthy than alot of options out there
From all the nuts you mentioned, only peanuts are from the ground, the rest from trees. All those from trees are definitely more nutritious.
Yep, peanuts are a legume not a nut, definitely not good for you.
Love peanut butter! Is there a better more nutritious substitute?

Cashew
Rolls Royce of all nuts.

My Triglycerides level is only 58.
Safe parameter is 150.
Cashews cashews and only cashews
Almonds have to be soaked before eating to remove the enzyme that stops the goodness from being released from them.
Walnuts make my mouth sore so I keep my contact to a minimum. I have no problem with the other nuts on the good list. I used to live where hazelnuts grow wild and you could go out and collect them for free
Soak them overnight.

They are also found in dark chocolate which is healthier than the milk chocolate
@@30kamo If I ever eat chocolate it has to be about 90% Cocoa and very dark! Thanks!

Just watch salt content
The king of nuts has got to be the Pili Nut. It has the highest magnesium content of all nuts, it's got omega 3 fatty acids and antioxidants. It's also a great tasting nuts.
Here in England I don't think we've heard of them. Pumpkin seeds are supposed to have magnesium too.
Pili nuts not easy to find in some country
One of the most common allergies for kids and adults are peanuts and products made from peanuts. I am one of those people. The problem with any nuts is we eat too many at a time! Mixed nuts w/o peanuts at Costco say 1/4 cup is a serving. That's how I don't overdo....measure! Enjoy the treat which is good for us but watch amount. They are fattening if you are concerned about weight.😊
