How to choose high-quality nuts

Look at color and appearance: The color of high-quality nuts should be natural, and nuts that have not been processed too much should have a more natural color. For example, high-quality melon seeds should have a natural luster in color, rather than being overly bright or exceptionally white. High quality peanut pods are earthy yellow in color, and the kernels are evenly colored. The walnut shell should be light yellow to avoid walnuts that are too white or black. Pistachios should be light yellow in color, avoiding particularly white ones as they may have been processed.
Smell: High quality nuts should have a natural fruity aroma and no pungent taste. If you smell mold, crackling or other unpleasant odors, it indicates poor quality of the nuts. For example, high-quality walnuts have a woody aroma, while spoiled walnuts have a pungent taste.
Look at shape and size: High quality nuts have a full shape, uniform particles, and no cracks or damage. Nuts of uniform size usually have better quality. For example, high-quality peanuts and melon seeds should have plump and evenly sized particles.
Taste: High quality nuts have a pure and odorless taste. For example, high-quality peanuts have a pure aroma and no rancid or bitter taste of oil. High quality melon seeds have a fragrant and sweet taste without being greasy, while spoiled melon seeds have a spicy or moldy taste.
Touch dryness: High quality nuts should be dry and not feel damp or greasy. For example, dried melon seeds are easy to crack and have a crisp sound when cracked with teeth; Damp melon seeds are not easy to crack when cracked, and the sound is light or silent.
Choose plain nuts: Plain nuts are usually healthier and do not contain excessive seasonings or chemicals. Original flavor melon seeds, peanuts, etc. are not easily ignited and have a fragrant and mellow taste.
Pay attention to brand and packaging: choose reputable brands and nuts with sealed packaging, avoid purchasing loose "three no" products to ensure quality and safety.
