Virginias, Runners, and Spanish peanuts are the three main types grown in the United States. Virginias (cocktail nuts) are large-kerneled. Medium-size kernels are called Runners and small-size kernels are called Spanish peanuts. A fourth type, Valencia peanuts, characterized by three or four small kernels in a long shell, are grown less frequently in the U.S.

Buying Iran, Turkey, and Afghanistan are the largest producers of pistachios, and Americans consume nearly 90 percent of the world's supply. Commercial crops were planted in California in 1968, and today California is the world's second largest pistachio producer. California pistachios are generally larger than those from the Middle East. | | Imported pistachios are fumigated with methyl bromide or phostoxin.
Almost all pistachios are sold roasted and salted. Because the shell of pistachios splits open as the nut matures, they do not have as lengthy a shelf life as other whole nuts do. Don't bother to crack unsplit nuts, as the kernel is immature.
The preferred Afghan pistachio shell has a natural pink tint; other varieties are tan. Some pistachio growers and importers dye the nut red, which exposes the kernels to the chemical dyes. Favor plain Jane pistachios over Day-Glo reds.

In their study of 278 people ranging from three to 21 years of age, researchers at Johns Hopkins
University School of Medicine in Baltimore also found that even some children who have had a previous, especially severe allergic reaction to tree nuts can outgrow their allergy. However, children who are allergic to multiple types of tree nuts are unlikely to outgrow their allergy, the research team says. | Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S. See book keywords and concepts | Best of all, the vitamin E in pistachio nuts is mostly the gamma-tocopherol form, which may have even more health benefits than the more common alpha-tocopherol form found in most supplements.) pistachios also contain magnesium and phosphorus and trace amounts of other minerals and vitamins, as well as phytosterols.

Grilled Green BeanA
PHASES 1-2, SERVES 2

This cooking method makes virtually any vegetable taste better. | Elaine Magee See book keywords and concepts | I have all sorts in my pantry, and I like to buy some of the more exotic trail mixes from Trader Joe's and mix things up a bit with cashews, pistachios, almonds, and walnuts.
Adding something like almonds on an almost daily basis just takes changing some old eating habits or adding some new ones. FYI: I've found that adding tends to be a lot easier than changing. For me, munching on some trail mix in the afternoon when I want a snack before I work out seems to do the trick. I keep trail mix in my car and in my kitchen so I can't miss. | Dan Buettner See book keywords and concepts | And everywhere you look there are nuts: showcased in plastic-sealed gift boxes; in heaping piles beside the onions and potatoes in the produce section; and sorted—raw cashews, dried pistachios, honey-roasted almonds, yogurt-dipped peanuts, shelled and unshelled walnuts—in dozens and dozens of hanging bins that can be emptied into flask-sized paper bags with the pull of a lever.

8. Fruits: The fruit group includes all kinds of whole fruits, including canned and fruit juices. That means 100 percent fruit juices only; fruit-flavored drinks are not fruit juice.
