Why does the price change so much between store for unsalted Almonds by exemple. Can nuts be cheap and unhealthy or is it only a business matter?

Not all nuts are created equal. Some have better nutritional profiles for people. [Video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJpitVC4mzs) (many hours long), “Nuts as a Staple Food”. Tl;Dw, Hazelnuts are ideal. Both for ease in the production process (cost), and nutritionally.

50% of my calories come from nuts. I put them in smoothies. Buy them from Costco in bags, or search the internet for a bulk supplier. Hazelnuts are easier to de-shell than others like walnuts, reducing their cost in theory.
