Aldi here has macadamia nuts, and I've been making a complete pig of

Ground almonds are fairly commonly used. Just this week I made a cake
from one of Nigella Lawson's recipes (Clementine Cake) because (a) it
is totally delicious and (b) it's gluten free and one of my friends
and her son are both ceoliac <sp?> sufferers.

Somewhere I have a recipe for amazing low-carb brownies made with almond
flour.

I can get TJ's shelled pistachios for a few dollars a pound, and it takes
a few seconds to make fresh pistachio flour out of them. It makes a
wonderful passover chocolate cake that my celiac mother can eat.

You know, either works. :-)

But to be serious a bit again: I think nuts get lumped in their own
category (along with seeds) because of their fat content.
