Hazelnut-filled cookies. Butterscotch ice cream with hazelnuts mixed in! Just hearing the name hazelnuts makes me want to head out to the nearest cafe and order a cappuccino!

This means you should help yourself to a generous amount of chestnuts! Speaking of nutrition, chestnuts are as good as whole grains. But they are more delicious thanks to the sweet subtle flavour they have. Chestnuts offer plenty of protein, vitamin E and dietary fiber.
And these delicious nuts are the only ones that offer a sizable amount of vitamin C. But since they have vitamin C to offer, you need to be careful about how you store them. Other types of nuts are pretty sturdy. But chestnuts go bad very easily.

Shocked to see almonds on our “don’t eat” list? Aren’t they nutritious with a good amount of vitamins and fatty acids? Well, they do offer nutrition. These days almond milk is one of the top choices for people who don’t drink dairy milk. Almonds are healthy for your body. But unfortunately, they are enemies
Of the environment. Almonds are totally the opposite of sustainable farming, as they require a huge amount of resources like water to grow them. A single almond needs over a gallon of water to grow. 80% of the world’s almonds come from California.
And you’ve likely heard about the drought, water shortages, and wildfires plaguing the state. Now imagine how much water all of these almonds would need! Certainly almonds are something we need to keep away from due to the environment. As you’ve just heard, there are plenty of delicious replacements. Cashews
These nuts are delicious and healthy. But sadly they come at a price that outweighs their benefits. The heavy price is paid by people who harvest cashews. You see, cashew apples grow under several thick layers. Workers need to shuck these layers, which releases toxins.
The majority of cashews come from Vietnam and India, where people harvest cashews from these layers. Those who harvest remain underpaid and underfed. Many workers have suffered permanent health damage due to the toxic liquid they frequently come in contact with. An investigation showed how people in are often forced into labor camps,
Where they harvest cashews under supervision. Heartbreaking. Horse Chestnuts We love chestnuts, right? So what about Horse chestnuts? They look similar don’t they? Well there’s a difference. Horse chestnuts are bad for your health. They contain a toxin that makes you vomit. If eaten in a significant quantity, they can even cause paralysis!
Stay miles away from Horse chestnuts! Macadamia Nuts Macadamia are delicious, but they aren’t that healthy. The biggest problem is they are super high in calories. You can easily eat twice the amount of your daily calories just by eating a handful of these nuts.
A cup of Macadamia nuts are almost 1000 calories, 88% of which is fat!If you are watching your weight, avoid Macadamia nuts like plague! Pine nuts Several recipes call for pine nuts to provide the finishing touch. But there is something you need to know. Pine nuts can cause
An unexplained temporary thing called pine nut syndrome, or “pine mouth” for short. This condition usually happens 12 to 48 hours after you have eaten pine nuts. It causes a bad taste in your mouth that can sometimes last for months. Everything will taste like metal. You definitely don’t want that. Peanuts
Uh-ho! Peanuts made to our list. That’s too bad. Peanut butter sandwiches taste like heaven. Also, aren’t peanuts healthy? They offer so many nutrients, as well as protein and fiber. Then what happened? Peanuts are loaded with calories. If you’re planning to watch your favorite
Show the entire evening while sitting on the couch, skip munching on peanuts. Half a cup of peanuts will give you calories equal to one fifth of your daily calorie intake. Confused? Consider this. One ounce of peanuts gives you 160 to 200 calories,
80% of which is from fat! Weight watchers definitely need to stay away from peanuts. If you do choose them as a snack, watch your portion size at least. Do you eat a lot of nuts? Are you planning to include the good nuts in your diet? How
