Re: How about peanuts?

Spice,

There are plenty of options when it comes to nuts. If cayenne works for you then stay on it but it's very detoxing. She left out walnuts so I wrote to her

In nature, nuts are encased in a shell which makes eating them slow and laborious. Early humans with other more appealing and expedient food options would likely have selected them over nuts. It can be assumed from this fact and from what we know about how difficult they are to digest that we are not designed to subsist on large quantities of nuts and/or seeds. Nuts fill the strong desire during transition for dense, concentrated foods, so they should be eaten to the extent that they keep you from eating less healthful foods, but it's best to continually try to cut back. When possible, obtain them unshelled. The best varieties are almonds, filberts, pecans, macadamias and young coconuts (mature coconut is hard to digest due to its high starch content). Digestibility of nuts and seeds can sometimes be improved by soaking. Peanuts should never be eaten, even raw, as they contain toxic compounds. Cashews are heated for removal from their shell so are not truly raw. Flax and sesame seeds are difficult to chew well so they remain largely indigestible.
