Pre Mixed or Separate

[ElegantAura]

Nuts can get pretty pricey, so it’s not always easy to enjoy them as often as you’d like. When you’re buying, do you prefer pre mixed packs, or do you like picking each type separately?
Also, whether you’re snacking, baking, or adding them to salads, which nuts do you find yourself reaching for the most?

Mixed nuts are okay, but I usually pick out the pecans, Brazil nuts, & cashews; (leave the others for my husband).

For a time I'm on a kick of mixing pistachios (luxuriously already shelled) with roasted (shelled) peanuts; then "double" roasting the mix in the air fryer for 3 minutes for munching/snacking.

I see you get the best ones


I find most mixed packs seem to be filled with whatever’s cheaper, usually around 50% peanuts. Nothing against peanuts (I like them), but there’s always way more of them compared to the rest.
I really like walnuts, they’re my favourite. Pistachios are great too, but I avoid buying them often since I tend to eat way too many in one go.
Walnuts, on the other hand, make me feel full faster, so I never overeat them. I also love almonds and pumpkin seeds… actually, I eat most kinds of nuts
