Default Re: Raw nut concerns: peanuts in shells, walnuts, etc

Dry roasted monkey nuts are a bit lower in fat than unroasted, I do sometimes use them & the hams seem to enjoy them as much really.

It may be different in the US but here in the UK all bird peanuts should now be free from aflotoxins (I can't remember how to spell it!) but to be on the safe side you can just buy human ones easily enough.

Sweet almonds sold for humans are fine but bitter almonds are toxic & almonds should never be given in the shell.
