Nut source?

[Ducksredux]

Howdy!

Frustrated by uneven nut quality. I eat tons of nuts so I need a great source. Nuts to you, Trader Joe's, Whole Foods are all less than amazing quality. Help a nutter?

Try the Head Nut in Ardmore - Haverford Road at Wynnewood/Eagle Road.

Gotta love a web page The Head Nut that plays Vince Guaraldi.

How about Wricley Nut products on Patterson Ave around 5th or so, below the citizens park & Linc. I used to go there 20 years ago in S. Philly and noticed them again recently near the stadium.

I bought cashews there yesterday since I wanted to try making my own cashew butter, but the nuts were of very good quality. I think it was 3.25 or 3.50 a lb.

I got a 5# bag of pistachios last week for 19.50, and I think they are far better than anything I have had from supermarkets recently. I equate good with having a nice crunch to them.

They have samples of butter crunch almonds at the window which were really good also.

But do be aware their selection is limited and hours are wierd. It is only a service window at a warehouse, so hours are daytime only with lunch break from 12:30 to 1:30 or so.

My experience was that Nuts to You was far better quality and much fresher than Wricley. And easier to work with, also. I found the staff at Wricley less than helpful.

Ardmore is a bit far for me, so I'll try Wricley and do a side by side comparison with Nuts to You and a couple others.

You might want to try Edwards-Freeman in Conshohocken.
