October 22 is National Nut Day — the one day a year we can be NUTTY!

Did you know? Macadamia nuts are never picked. They are harvested from the ground AFTER they fall off the tree. They have the hardest shell of any nut; it takes 300 PSI of pressure to crack it open.

Almonds, cashews, walnuts, pistachios—these are all little energy powerhouses packed with healthy fats, protein, and minerals that help your brain think, your joints move, and your snack stash stay interesting.

If you want brain health → Walnuts
For glowing skin → Almonds or Hazelnuts
For weight control → Pistachios
For thyroid & hormones → Brazil nuts
For indulgence with benefits → Macadamias

Toss a handful on your salad, blend them into butter, or just grab a fistful straight from the bag. (No judgements.) But remember that a handful is about a serving size.... ;0
