Nuts and Seeds

Nuts and seeds provide a healthful combination of essential fats, protein, and fiber all contained in a nutrient-dense package. They can be enjoyed in their whole form, as a flavorful nut or seed butter, or in some cases, used in their flour form for baked goods.

Individually, nuts and seeds vary in key nutrients. To obtain a broad spectrum of essential nutrients, be sure to eat a variety of nuts, seeds, or nut butters in their raw, soaked, or gently toasted forms.

In general, nuts, seeds, and their products can be found in most grocery stores (especially natural food stores) in their raw form free of excess salt, sugar, and added oils. You can find links to many of our favorite products and brands on our website (www.thyroidcookbook.com).

Nuts, seeds, nut/seed butters, and their flours all contain fragile oils that are sensitive to light, heat, and oxygen. Check for signs of rancidity when buying. To keep them from quickly turning rancid, it’s best to store them in a tightly sealed container at 50°F or below. In general, they’ll stay fresh for up to six months stored in the refrigerator and for up to one year stored in the freezer. Whenever possible, it’s best to purchase nuts and seeds in their whole form and chop or grind yourself.

Not all of the nuts and seeds listed below are present in this cookbook. See the Our Methodology chapter for a detailed explanation of our thoughtful ranking system that helped us choose ingredients to highlight for our recipes.
