Nuts are such a great food packed with nutrition and good fats. They also have a lot of micronutrients that are very healthy. BUT DANG - so few of us can only eat a few....... I found that when I quit buying the prepackaged and preshelled nuts (salted as well), and starting buying them in bulk, I could control them much better. So, I never buy them in packages but make myself sit and shell them! It makes it much more difficult than running into the kitchen and grabbing a handful of the salted ones in the can. It is cheaper too! Nuts are very calorie dense and it is way too easy to have too many. I hate to see anyone cut them outh completely because they are very good for us.
