Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

These nuts are nuts. As a vegan, they had me at "complete essential amino acid profile." They could taste like dusty old gym socks, and I would have ordered them. That's not what they taste like. On the Rich Roll Podcast, the taste was described as "if a peanut went to bed with popcorn." That is accurate. The instant I crunched one of these magical nuggets, a voice cried out from deep in the wells of my soul: "MAKE THIS A NUT BUTTER!" "But I've never made nut butter before," I argued. "NUT BUTTEEEEEEEER!!!" the voice insisted. When I regained consciousness, I found a simple nut butter recipe open on the computer. Fifteen minutes in the blender later, I had a scratch-made butter made of exotic Brazilian nuts. Life will never be the same. The taste: special. The texture: smooth but with just a hint of crunch. A baru nut butter and fig jelly sandwich on whole wheat bread transported me to another plane of existence. The nuts themselves, butter aside, are really something exciting. The flavor and mouthfeel are very accessible. The macronutrient profile and micronutrient mix look more like a well-balanced meal than a single food item. The idea of a handful of nuts serving as a total meal replacement is ridiculous. These things really need to be a rare superfood; it's not fair to other foods.
