VALUE OF NUTS IN 
THE DIET 
Nuts are gaining in impor¬ 
tance each year as a staple in 
the diet of many people be¬ 
cause we are becoming more 
conscious of the mineral val¬ 
ues of foods. Nuts are ready 
to eat as they come from the shell and cannot be improved upon by methods 
of cooking. I believe as time marches on that nuts will become more im¬ 
portant in the diet and will eventually replace some of the proteins we are 
now using largely. Without doubt nuts are small, tightly sealed packages 
containing highly concentrated pellets of mineral nutrition direct from Mother 
Earth. Dr. John Harvey Kellogg of Battle Creek, Michigan in an article in 
the seventh annual report of the N. N. G. A. wrote as follows: “In nutritive 
value the nut far exceeds all other food substances; for example the average 
number of food units per pound furnished by half a dozen of the more com¬ 
mon varieties of nuts is 3231 calories, while the average of the same number 
of varieties of cereals is 1654 calories, half the value of nuts. The average 
food value of the best vegetables is 300 calories per pound and of the best fresh 
fruits grown in this country is 278 calories. The average food value of the six 
principal flesh foods is 810 calories per pound, or one-fourth that of nuts.”
