Are these good or bad carb wise and diabetes wise? Looked in my book and they aren’t mentioned!

Bought some thinking they would be fine to nibble then realised not all nuts are perfect.
 
I think cobnuts are also called hazelnuts. I eat them (hazelnuts) with little to no impact on BG
 
Cobnuts are a healthy nut. Cobnut kernels typically contain 12% to 17% protein by dry weight and about 10 to 15 percent fiber. They are rich in vitamin E and in calcium and provide vitamins B1 and B6.

@Cana apologies for the numpty question but why would you want to bury them? We have a Hazel tree in the garden and it’s a race to see who gets to the nuts first - us or the squirrels. Needless to say the squirrel usually wins because he pinched them when we’re at work and then he buries them.

Burying nuts should not effect your bg :)

But the exercise involved in digging their graves may possibly have an impact on it...o_O

I had a hazel in my garden but the the squirrels and field mice used to get them before i could - all I got were little piles of empty shells with neat round holes in them left under our wood pile!

I got my nut cracker.

These are much much safer than pistachios
Take so much effort and time (I’m clearly very weak and pathetic) to crack one but I can’t overeat
