Also, whenever I eat them, I try to buy them in the shell. This helps me to avoid overeating. I try not to eat more than three handfuls a week. Sometimes I will go months without any. If I crave more, I blend and strain them to make nut milk.
Nut milks taste great and are very filling.
Many people tend to overeat on nuts, so be careful. It is best to eat food that contains as much water as possible. Except for dates, I only eat dried fruits, if I cannot get them fresh. Eating fruits in their most natural state is always best. Also, I like to soak dried fruit to replace the water, before I eat them.
