burn the nut inside a calorimeter, or just burn the nut with in a container of water, and measure how much the temperature of the water changes. since you know that water has a specific heat of 4.184J/gK or 1cal/gK then u can find how much heat energy was given to it

Well it depends on the nut; are you available for testing?
