Ironically the word description portrays it as some valueless item, but a glance at nuts around the world establishes that they are quite moderate to expensive products. Almonds, pistachios and walnuts are some of the prime nuts that are worth a cost. 
A variety of dried seeds that are in shells or otherwise are common all around the world, and make for supplementary diet.

They are an indispensable source of energy stimulation for humans, and is considered as great fodder for wildlife.

Nuts that are cultivated in colder regions have immense oil and carbohydrate byproducts, and is valued as a perfect nutrient. Nuts contain a large quantity of calories, fats, edible acids that are good for the liver and digestive system.

Nuts will always be a preferred choice as they make for great snack food, and easy to consume and carry.
