Planters Deluxe Mixed Nuts Review

As a fan of salty snacks, mixed nuts are high on my priority list. Planters is well known as the caviar of the nut business, and Planters is one of the largest nut producers in the world. Of all the Planters nut varieties, "Planters Deluxe Mixed Nuts" are the best blend of flavor, saltiness, and quality nuts that I have seen.

While one's preference in nuts is highly subjective, mixed nut blends allow one to indulge in a variety of nuts simultaneously. Some people prefer cashews, while others prefer almonds. If you, like I, are not committed to a single nut, then a mixed nut blend such as Planters Deluxe Mixed Nuts is right for you. Planters Deluxe Mixed Nuts is a balanced blend of cashews, almonds, Brazil nuts, hazelnuts, and pecans, with the proper amount of salt added to bring out the flavor of the nuts without overpowering them.

One of the advantages of Planters Deluxe Mixed Nuts as a snack is the health benefits associated with nuts. While nuts are not considered low in fat, recent research has indicated that a handful of nuts daily, especially almonds, has health benefits for one's heart and cholesterol rating. I myself find that almonds alone are rather boring, but snacking on Planters Deluxe Mixed Nuts is an effective way to get a moderate amount of almonds and other nuts, along with their corresponding health benefits.

Planters Deluxe Mixed Nuts are available in a variety of sizes, from small canisters containing just a few servings to larger containers that one can purchase at bulk stores such as Costco and Sam's Club. While it is undoubtedly more cost-effective to purchase Planters Deluxe Mixed Nuts in larger quantities, I find that I enjoy Planters Nuts best when they are fresh out of a newly-opened package. Nuts lose their flavor and silky texture when opened fairly rapidly, so it is essential that you keep a fresh supply of Planters Deluxe Mixed Nuts on hand.
