Mixed Nuts

Mixed nuts are a combination of different types of nuts, such as almonds, walnuts, cashews, pecans, and peanuts. They are typically roasted or raw and may be salted or unsalted. Nuts are the edible seeds of certain plants, often grown on trees or in bushes.

Mixed nuts are commonly found in snack mixes, trail mixes, and as a topping for desserts like ice cream and yogurt. They are also used in baked goods, such as cookies and muffins, and as a key ingredient in energy and granola bars. Their texture and flavor add richness and crunch to many food products.

Mixed nuts are a source of healthy fats, protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) considers nuts to be generally recognized as safe (GRAS) when used as intended. Some studies suggest that regular consumption of nuts may be associated with a lower risk of heart disease, though evidence is mixed regarding specific health outcomes. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated various nuts and nut products.
