Cobs nuts

[carol43]

There is a tree in our village park which is covered in cobs nuts this year. Are these OK to have? If I get to them before the squirrels have them all.

Cob nuts are hazelnuts aren’t they? In which case they are around 6g carbs per 100g without their shells

Nuts are good, all nuts, not many that isnt bad for you. Omega 3 oils
Obviously salted is a no no, almonds walnuts, pistachio are best for us More than the rest, so I would hurry before them **** squirrels get to them.

There are hazelnuts in a way..

 

[bulkbiker]

almonds walnuts, pistachio

Pistachios are pretty high carb anywhere from 12-17%
Almonds and walnuts better and macadamias too.

I used to eat them when I lived in the UK, grew wild around the area, they are also called Hazel or Filbert nuts.

They have around 2.4 grams carbs in ten nuts according to Fat Secret UK.

Dunno, but I like salted peanuts although they do not like me.

Less salt the better in our predicament as salt raises our blood pressure which in turn gives us more chance of contracting heart disease

I was being sarcastic @Rachox, I like my salt on meals etc. and I always take a small container of salt where ever I go.

Anti salt crusaders are like the anti meat mob in my book...

The article disproves the salt causing high blood pressure theory

I have "Good good" blood pressure according to my GP.

I add copious amounts of salt to my food, and my blood pressure is always comfortably below 120/80, so it’s certainly not a given that salt in the diet causes high BP. My understanding is that hypertension is caused primarily by narrowing and calcification of the arteries forcing the heart to pump harder in order to achieve the same blood circulation.

Second only to anti-cholesterol hysteria

When my partner melts the chocolate for choco macadamias she puts a bit of salt in it. Yumm!
