Nuts as Nutritious Foods

SUCH nuts as walnuts, filberts, almonds, and pecans are valuable and highly nutritious foods, containing, pound for pound, almost three times as much nourishment as raw meat. If thoroughly masticated and eaten as a food, not after a full meal, they are readily digested by an average stomach. The almond is a particularly valuable nut, its composition being almost identical with that of milk. Almond meal has for many years been used by diabetic patients. The peanut is not a true nut, but a tuber. Unlike other nuts it requires cooking, as it contains considerable starch.—Selected.
