There are different varieties of nuts, for instance Almonds, Walnuts, Cashews, Pistachios, Brazil nuts, just to name a few. Despite a similar nutritional profile from the majority (except for Brazil nuts with extraordinarily high selenium contents), some are more carbohydrate-dense than the other, particularly Cashews (30.2g per 100g) and Pistachio (27.2g per 100g). For those with diabetes, nuts with lower carbohydrates, such as Walnuts (13.7g per 100g) and Brazil nuts (11.7g per 100g) might be better options.
There are lots of different flavoured nuts currently available in the market, but not necessarily all are suitable for everyone, especially most of them are high in salt content. Thus, it is recommended to pick the plain flavour. Meanwhile, people with irritable bowel syndrome are best to avoid Cashews and Pistachios due to their high Galacto-oligosaccharides content, and replace them with other kinds of nuts.
