| nut type | nut rating (1-10) | thoughts & opinions | do i recommend? |
|---|---|---|---|
|
pistachio 
|
9.1 | scrumpdidlyumptious. they're so good. and i like the color green. the shells are a bit annoying though. and they're pretty expensive | yes but only if they're a good price |
|
cashew 
|
8.8 | they're so good i love cashews. they're soft and don't have a weird bitter aftertaste and they're like the perfect snacking nut | absolutely 100% |
|
pecans 
|
8.2 | very tasty and soft but also a little tasteless unless you get the cool glazed ones | yes. but get the glazed ones if you can |
|
butternut squash 
|
8.0 | very yummy (but only if cooked) | yes. go get some butternut squash. and then make a soup with it or something |
|
peanut 
|
6.5 | it's just a really mid nut. they're pretty bad on their own but they're a good base for other peanut snacks. added points for their shape and agricultural imporance though | maybe. they're a good crop but not that good for eating (except peanut butter) |
|
hazelnut 
|
6 | eh they're fine i guess? idk i haven't had very many | probably not tbh |
|
coconut 
|
5.0 | ok the flesh itself is a little gross and styrofoam-y but dried coconut and coconut milk/water are pretty good | yes (just not the fresh ones don't go buying a whole coconut) |
macadamia nuts 
|
4.8 | taste itself is pretty good but way too hard for normal consumption. they're good in cookies though | only for cookies |
|
almonds 
|
3.9 | way too bitter and hard and also apparently they smell like arsenic? at least almond flour's kinda useful | no. not unless you wanna manually grind almond flour. |

3.4 | they look gross and taste gross | no (maybe for pesto) |
|
