Worldly riches are like nuts; many a tooth is broke in cracking them, but never is the stomach filled with eating them.
–Rabbi Nachman of Breslov
If you putter around the low carb world for very long, you’ll see that we have a strange relationship to nuts. On the one hand, you’ve got people using pounds of nut flours every day in their cake-that-aren’t-cakes recipes. On the other hand, you’ve got spear-throwing Paleo types talking about them like they’re almost as bad for you as grain. So what’s the truth?
Well, if you think I can tell you, you’re nuts.
