Oil roasted nuts and seeds


Recommended Posts

How unhealthy is it to eat almonds and cashews and sunflower seeds that have been roasted in vegetable oil?

 

Nuts and seeds are a huge part of my diet!

 

I really like pumpkin seeds because they are so high in protein, but they are hard to find and hard for me to afford.

 

I eat a lot of sunflower seeds, almonds, and cashews.

 

I recently noticed that most all of the roasted almonds, cashews, and sunflower seeds at the grocery stores are really greasy, and vegetable oil is the second ingredient on the label. I don't see dry-roasted nuts and seeds very often; the only brand of dry-roasted I saw contained MSG.

 

I know raw is probably better and healthier, but I'm a bit allergic to raw almonds, and it is hard to eat cups and cups of raw sunflower kernels.

 

How unhealthy is it to eat almonds and sunflower seeds that have been roasted in vegetable oil? Do the benefits of the protein in these outweigh the negative effects of consuming so much vegetable oil?
