Let's go NUTS!

I come bearing nuts. What?? Hmmm... Let's start over.

Here's the thing about Blue Diamond Almonds - we've always known about them, they're pretty much the only brand of almonds that anybody can name, and they've always been around. Their Smokehouse variety has been the only real "flavor" that they've offered up until now. And while that is a decent snack, they are finally branching out.

This new BOLD line includes 4 different flavors - Lime 'n Chili, Maui Onion & Garlic, Jalapeno Smokehouse and Wasabi & Soy Sauce. Okay, I've tried two of them - Maui Onion & Garlic and Lime 'n Chili. Here's my quick, overall assessment of them:

"Fantastic - Best new snack that you'd probably never think to buy unless you saw a special promotion for them in the store."

AND, they're good for your heart. They are high in antioxidants and they help your cholesterol ratio. It's a win-win.

Maui Onion & Garlic - sweet, savory, bold and mildly zesty - A
Lime 'n Chili - tangy, zesty, limey, with a nice zing, not spicy - A
