Raw or roasted Nuts?

I may go for roasted nuts and enjoy its crunchy taste. However, if you are very religious about your diet, you can still go for your raw nuts. There is no huge difference between them both. You can enjoy both of them. Back to scientific readings, there is a minor difference between both of them. Roasted nuts only contain around 5% more fat than raw nuts. This is because roasted nuts absorb very little oil. In the process of roasting, some minerals and vitamins such as B and E vitamins are not heating stable. They are reduced in roasted nuts. The nuts skin may fall off in the process of roasting and thus lose its source of antioxidants and fiber compounds.

Can I eat salted nuts?

Conditions apply. It depends on you. That is to say, if you are suffering from high blood pressure, of course, you should be very careful. We think of you to live longest as we raised the above motto of “eat to live not live to eat”.

If you have kids, nut kinds of butter are your best alternative to feed them healthy snacks. Your little children, who are at risk of choking on whole nuts, or your elders who with chewing difficulties can still enjoy its yummy taste.

Soaking nuts is good or bad?

We would not encourage you to have activated nuts. Soaking your nuts overnight is not advisable because it breaks down some of the protein, starches, oils, and other nutrients like phytates. Preserving its valuable nutrients is your best option to live longest, dear reader.

What’s the best way to store nuts?

Storing your nuts is very easy and simple. All you need is just an airtight container and put it in the fridge for up to 4 months or in the freezer for up to 6 months.

Nuts today are an essential staple in nearly all homes. Either eaten as they are, treated for oil extraction, or used in different dishes, the range of usage for nuts is widely varied. Though nuts are seen as a luxury in many underdeveloped regions due to their high prices, they used to be the food of both the rich and the poor alike thousands of years ago.

Archeological excavations revealed remains of nuts seeds and primitive nutcrackers used to break them open. Researchers found early historical evidence in the Middle East, Iraq, Palestine, and the occupied lands. It is no wonder that nuts have been and are still a convenient food choice; they are easy to store, and they last for long periods. They are perfect nourishment rich in proteins and fat with exclusive health benefits.

Nuts and mythology: any particular importance?

Like all objects in human life, nuts have fables of their own. Be it in pagan rituals, mythic stories, or religious tales; nuts had always had a part in all records. Wild nuts trees might have been accessible to all people alike, whether they are royalty or commoners. However, stories about the queen of Sheba reveal that laws were passed to forbid commoners from consuming pistachios; they were exclusive to the royal entourage. As a sign of their uniqueness and importance, nuts were cultivated in the hanging gardens of Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon.

Almonds were given as wedding gifts in ancient Rome because they were considered a symbol of fertility. Another legend tells of good luck brought by pistachios; if two lovers meet under a pistachio tree and hear the crack of a nut in a full moon night, they are to expect good fortune. Hazelnuts, on the other hand, were seen as a symbol of wisdom. Whereas Africans thought that peanuts have souls.

Dionysus, the Greek God, transformed his lover into a walnut tree after she died. Walnuts were highly revered by the Greeks and even the Romans who considered walnuts as the food of gods.

Nuts, as you can judge, have been a loyal companion to the human race since ancient times. They were relied upon for treating many illnesses and providing valuable nutritional benefits.

Nuts: nomenclature and types

People tend to classify all known elements and put them into rigid categories. However, this might seem an impossible job when dealing with nuts. The latter has a somewhat identity crisis. It is general knowledge that they are tree fruits, but botanists usually consider more specific details. Scientifically, nuts can be either seeds or kernels; yet, few nuts fall under neither category. For instance, peanuts are classified as legumes.

Food experts define nuts as “any edible kernels encased in shells.” They differ from other fruits in the way they ripen and in the outer casing. The outer woody part of the fruit hardens and turns into a shell protecting the seed. The Arabic label refers to the act of cracking the nut open.

Experts identify eleven types of nuts. The following is an official list published in the online Encyclopedia:

• Almonds: they are the fruits of the almond tree hardy to arid temperature zones. The plant has white and pink flowers and produces single kernels, although there might exist trees producing two seeds. It grows two shells, a hard one covering the seed and does not open on its own, and a green soft one that falls as soon as the fruit ripens. Almonds are rich in fats, with the highest levels in oleic and monounsaturated acids. Almond trees were first cultivated in Asia. The book of Genesis speaks of Jacob ordering his people to take almond seeds when relocating to Egypt. Later, Alexander the Great introduced this plant to Greece. From Greece traveled the seed to Mediterranean countries. The second important wave of almond relocation came with the Arab conquest of North Africa and the move towards Spain. Spanish missionaries introduced the plant to the New World during the nineteenth century. Cultivars and tree varieties differ across regions along with the diversity in density and soft or hard-shelled choice of trees. Almond orchards spread in the Mediterranean basin, southwestern Asia, and California. However, few issues are now rising due to the concentration on profitability and modified species yielding magnified crops. Genetic diversity is the sole victim of this market-oriented new mindset. Nevertheless, distant rural areas are still preserving rare genetic types.
• Brazil nuts: originate in the Amazon forest; these nuts are the fruits of giant trees with cream-colored flowers. The fruits ripen in fourteen months then fall to the ground. They are rich in fat, that’s why they are essential for cosmetics and skincare use. Though Brazilians are used to eating these nuts for hundreds of years, it is only during the sixteenth century that the fruit became known to the world. This fruit is found uniquely in Brazil and few nearby places such as Bolivia, Peru, Colombia, the Guianas, and Venezuela. The trees are very productive; one single tree can yield three hundred nut-filled pods. This wild species is impossible to replicate in planted orchards hence efforts are now made to protect and preserve the Brazilian natural crops.
• Cashews: are another type of nuts originating in the Brazilian coasts with their salty beaches. Cashew nuts are kidney-shaped and double-shelled. They are relatively low in fats compared to other nuts and a bit high in carbohydrates. Cashews have a relatively neutral flavor which enables them to be used in any recipe. Most importantly, all parts of the cashew tree are used for different purposes. The peduncle carrying the nuts can be eaten, made into juice, or used to make wine. The Portuguese transported this tree to India and from there to the tropical areas of Asia. India became the first international exporter of cashew with an estimation of five hundred tons. However, the World Bank released that 97 percent of the world's production comes from wild trees rather than planted orchards. The latter is capable of producing fruits for only three years after planting.
• Chestnutsare reddish-brown nuts. They have an oval scar at the bottom. Chestnuts have the highest carbohydrates and water contents; they contain the lowest fat levels compared to all nut crops. There are seven species of chestnuts around the world. Yet only three species, the Chinese, European, and Japanese, account for the majority of international production. The Japanese variety is the most appreciated one thanks to its medium size, high productivity, and resistance to diseases. Hybrid types mixing Japanese and European types are now cultivated for economical purposes. Ink and blight diseases are most dangerous to chestnuts and it eliminated the whole American variety.
• Coconut: historical evidence traces their existence to the Indo Pacific Ocean regions. The Sanskrit label of coconut translates literally as “the tree which provides all the necessities of life”. Indeed, the tree provides food, drink, and shelter. It was first during the nineteenth century that coconut palms began to be planted for commercial use.
• Hazelnuts: there are mainly two varieties of these nuts, a long type named filberts and a short one called hazels. These nuts date back to the first prehistoric human settlements in Europe. Turkey reigns supreme in the production of hazelnuts with 65 percent of the world supply. Italy follows in the second position. Both countries use traditional methods of cultivation and harvesting. The famous Nutella owes the huge success to hazelnuts, the main component of this chocolate brand.
• Peanuts: were originally cultivated in South America and China. Botanists classify it as a legume, but it is considered nuts due to its culinary uses. Peanuts have subterranean fruits. There are four varieties around the world, “Virginia”, “Spanish”, “Peruvian”, and “Valencia.” This fruit can be eaten cooked or dried; however, it is cultivated mainly for oil extraction.
• Pecansare a North American native species. They can survive the workings of time for hundreds of years. Fats are highly concentrated compounds in pecans. The best-selected varieties are those bearing large, thin-shelled nuts. Though efforts are conducted to preserve the genetic diversity of the wild pecans, improved orchards began to take the lead in production beginning from the twentieth century. Grafting pecan trees to enhance productivity and quality caused a great boom in this field. Pecans are highly valued in American cuisine, especially in the southern parts because of historical ties linking this nut to people and their diet traditions.
• Pine nuts: are found originally in the North American Southwestern arid regions. The crops ripen in more than a year, usually by august of the second year. The nuts are thin-shelled and have unique aromas. Archeological and historical findings reveal; that Native Americas used pine nuts excessively for medicine, rituals, and diet.
• Pistachiosare very rich in fat and protein. Pistachio trees are grown in Asia Minor, Pakistan, and India. Remains of nuts were revealed in Jordan. Today, Turkey, Iran, and California are responsible for producing the world’s demand for pistachios in improved orchards. California crops dominate local American markets. Nevertheless, Turkish products are appreciated for their remarkable flavor.
• Walnuts: originate in central Asia, specifically Turkey and China. The Persian walnut has a majestic ranking among other species. Walnuts are rich in fats; the highest compounds are linoleic acid by 62 percent and polyunsaturated oil. Walnuts are high in tannins which give them a bitter flavor. The royal Persian variety was relocated to Greece and later to Rome, according to Pliny. The tree quickly spread to the rest of the world. Grafted cultivars are now preferred and planted for their high productivity.

Nuts: favorite types and use

Peanuts, walnuts, pecans, and almonds are people’s favorite nuts. Inherently healthy food, nuts are widely and excessively consumed in snacks, various dishes, and nuts related products such as butter, oils, and flours. They have high amounts of good fat, rich in omega_3s, and vitamins. Nuts are a good source of energy hence they can be incorporated into daily diets without hesitation.

Nuts are better consumed roasted because once subjected to heat they become crunchier. However, if they are meant for baking purposes it is better to use them raw without roasting. They are otherwise perfect as a part of breakfast or a midnight snack. Medical associations recommend that you should not cross certain limits in consumption. A handful of any type of nuts can be enough for daily use. If you venture into eating too much you might face digestive and gas problems. Besides, it is always advisable that you should check your allergies and the ingredients of your food especially those with nuts extracts.

Medieval and middle ages cuisines used the available nuts regularly especially in meat and chicken dishes for the royal tables. Old recipes survived time and are now used and improved to add flavors and exotic taste to ordinary plates.

The huge demand for nuts causes dilemmas to suppliers. Even countries producing certain types of nuts like the United States imports from other countries because the national crop does not cover the needs of the market. That’s why parties interested in the field have been collaborating to come up with solutions such as grafting different species to attain high productive new races.

Mixed nuts

This is a very popular food around the world. In the United States, mixed nuts come second in the ranking of nuts consumption. It is preceded only by peanuts for their cultural value and heritage. It has gained a reputation in many countries. Exports of these nuts toppled all records in recent years.

Mixed nuts are a snack composed of different types of nuts. Almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts, cashews, and pistachios are the most common components. These ingredients are not necessarily harvested from the same country; they are oftentimes collected from different orchards around the globe.

Peanuts are the cheapest fruits; hence they make a good percentage in mixed nuts. However, peanuts are associated with frequent dangerous food allergies. Therefore, you have to be careful when buying your mixed nuts. Mixed nuts are processed either manually or mechanically. There are two ways for treating the components. Nuts can be either roasted or oil-fried. Roasted nuts can be salty or without salt.

In the United States, federal associations sought to regulate the import and use of mixed nuts from the start of the twentieth century. The focus was on the percentage of each nut in the mixture. Regulations emphasized that there must be at least four types of nuts for the product to be labeled mixed nuts. What is more important is that neither ingredient should exceed 80 percent or be lower than 2 percent of the whole package. All nut quantities beyond 50 percent must be explicitly mentioned.

If you are not a nut person and do not know which type suits you the best, then try mixed nuts for an exotic multi-flavored snack. Later you might fall in love with one single ingredient and decide to stay loyal or you might enjoy the mixture and keep ordering it. There is nothing neither to lose nor to fear, nuts are always health-friendly foods.
