walnuts and peanuts (if you are not allergic) are best

i put em in all my salads
also seeds are good
unsalted sunflower seeds

the best nuts are considered to be walnuts
but they can be bitter sometimes
pecans are similar
i love hazelnuts
have i mentioned that?
peanuts are good too if you are not allergic
in the states i know you cannot bring peanuts into schools so that is out
all nuts are good
even soynuts (esp for women)
all seeds are good too
the key to anything is variety and not eating the same old every single day
