I've become addicted to Shelled Sunflower Seeds. I eat them in place of pretzels, candy, potato chips etc. Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

Try switching over to soy nuts or slivered almonds, both have more protein than the sunflower seeds. I mix roasted/salted soy nuts with slivered or sliced almonds and snack on that.

ohh me too. I figured they were better than potato chips. I will have to try soy nuts. Do they sell soy nuts in bulk at Sprouts?

I don't have a "Sprouts" around here, so I could'nt help you with that. Why not give them a call?
Soynuts are very common so they should have them in stock.

Well, they're certainly better than pretzels, candy, & chips. But I can see where they aren't the best if you're eating them excessively! (But hey, sometimes you just have to make whatever improvements you can.)

I tried the soy nuts and thought they were ACK!

I'm addicted to almonds. I mean excessively. I know they're healthy, but not in the ridiculous amounts I'm consuming.

Always,
Jo

Did you try the roasted and salted ones? those are good. I once tried the dry roasted UNSALTED ones and they were nasty. They also come honey roasted and those are good for an occasional sweet treat.

Hmmm . . . I'm not sure what kind I tried. I'll have to look & see what kind of varieties I can find and might give them another try!

Always,
Jo

Oh I know what you mean, but after I eat them for about 20mins my mouth is sore as all get out!!! I really was surprised at how nasty the soy nuts were when I tried them but I have grown to accept them :)
