FDA only approved the heart health claim for almonds, hazelnuts, peanuts, pecans, some pine nuts, pistachios and walnuts as these nuts contain less than 4g of saturated fats per 50g. However that doesn't mean you should restrict yourself to these 7 nuts only. In addition to nuts, seeds such as flax seeds, pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds may offer the same heart health benefits. Again moderation is the key - limit your intake to 1 to 2 oz of unsalted nuts per day.

For GREAT nutritional information go to www.whfoods.com. In general variety is important. Do not rely one one particular food eat a variety of nuts. Also best if the nuts are raw NOT roasted and salted. Often the roasted nuts have added undesirable fats.

It's a good healthy food if not too salty.
Almonds are the best with regard to health.
