Almonds could be viewed as the energy snack, while walnuts serve as the heart-healthy snack that satisfies. Those who like to do some research should look at the real cost and actual ingredients of so many health bars.
If almonds are so much a pound, how much are the granola or diet or fitness or health bars per pound? Manufactured food is very expensive, because it is wrapped in paper and promoted in the media. Quality and taste are minimal. Bad ingredients can be expected.
I actually bought some coconut enhanced almonds. The best of both worlds? No. They were sweetened and yukky to eat, neither almondy nor coconutty.
I bought two large containers for walnuts (first) and almonds (second). I buy in bulk, so I have an inexpensive source of snack food loaded with nutrition.
