Should I be eating more nuts? Only if you want to! I've been going through a nut phase this winter, but am trying to think of it in a Paleo sense. That is to say, nuts stored for winter, and when they run out, they run out. I've been doing the same with my vegetables - lettuce wasn't available in February in the northern hemisphere thousands of years ago, so why should I eat it now? Broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, and cabbage have become close personal friends. <g> While nuts contain lots of fats (peanuts, cashews, and chestnuts excepted) and good sources of minerals like selenium, many people have a low tolerance for them! Whole almonds, for example, now give me stomach cramps, but I have no problem with ground almonds. Go figure. I think if you can tolerate them, that's good, otherwise take it easy and introduce them slowly.
