And they also dairy and gluten free, so say the BBC.

I don't want to appear argumentative or ill-natured but I'd be totally shocked at their naivety if someone actually did suspect that walnuts might not be dairy or gluten-free!

Most nuts are very healthy and contain scads of valuable trace elements and vitamins. I love all nuts and all of the cakes and biscuits that are made from any of them. I got some cashew-butter from a health-food shop once and it's God-like stuff. Ditto almond-butter

I love nut butters and have recently started making my own:

www.cheap-family-recipes.org.uk/recipe-walnutbutter.html?opt=p3m1

I have made both of the above and they are very tasty.

I love eating nuts too.I'd read that of all the nuts,almonds were 'king'.Across the board,all nuts are good for you in moderation and unsalted if possible.

I bet the packets of shelled ones have a "warning contains nuts" label on them:D

I've eyed up those nut-butter recipes before on the site and one day, when I have some form of food-processor, I shall be making my own.

I'm glad to hear it. Last year was the first year that we had a decent crop of walnuts. They started to dry up in the shell so I spent an afternoon shelling them then froze then. We've still a few left.

I eat some nuts most days, unsalted. Walnuts are definitely the best, then brazils, almonds, hazelnuts.

I don't like pecans or cashews though.
