I love adding nuts to my recipes for that extra crunch and flavor, but I'm curious about the nutritional benefits of different types of nuts. Can anyone share insights on the healthiest nuts to include in my diet and the specific nutrients they offer?

Walnuts have a lot of good fat and protein and some fiber. A really good source of manganese. To a lesser degree they also have magnesium, potassium, iron, calcium, sodium, and Vitamin B.

I've read that Brazil nuts are high in Selenium. That's a mineral apparently lacking a bit in UK soils, so a Brazil nut occasionally makes a good supplement to the diet here.
