Nutrition Tier Lists: Nuts

The next time you're digging through a bag of trail mix, maybe stop to think about what you might be missing when you only pick out the M&Ms. While nuts may not be the cornerstone of many peoples' diets -  they may be the most nutrient dense collection of foods on the planet. Today we will be breaking down which ones can be your go to snack and which one's are best left in the bag, if any.

What I Would Change:
Macadamia Nuts are among the best plant sources of Omega 7 Fatty Acids, which are very beneficial  and help explain the higher calories in Macadamia Nuts. With this in mind, I would move them up to the A-Tier.

All nutrient data is pulled from the USDA's National Nutrient Database for Standard Reference.
