More adventures in reading labels...

You'd think that something like almonds or cashews would be an easy paleo snack.

And they are.

IF you buy the right brand.

One brand gets it right, one doesn't.

Roasted cashews.  Pretty hard to screw that up, right?

Wrong.

So while it is obvious to avoid the cashews encrusted with brown sugar and sesame, even the Camel brand roasted cashews have WHEAT and SUGAR in them.  So do their almonds.

However, Tong Garden gets it right:

No wheat.  Just almonds.  Their cashews also don't have wheat, and while they use palm oil, that is generally okay for most folks.

Good nuts...

So always check your labels when buying something that seems to be as easy as almonds or cashews for a palo snack.  Wheat in Thai is ข้าวสาลี, so while most labels are in English, be sure to check (sometimes it will be in the ingredients list as just สาลี or แป้งสาลี).
