• Use them as snacks. Unlike snack items like chips, nuts provide a significant nutritional benefit. We’ve included a number of recipes for snack mixes and other ways to incorporate more nuts into your diet.
• Use them as toppings and additions. Nuts and seeds can be added to salads, used to top baked goods, and sprinkled over vegetables and casseroles.
