Some important things to note.
1. Pistachios must be salted to make top-tier.
2. Hazelnuts move to top-tier once blanched.
3. Peanuts must be blanched and salted to make mid-tier.
4. The only nut I'll ever tolerate having a shell is a pistachio.

5. Almonds, Brazil nuts and Cashews are the best plain nuts. Cashews don't make top-tier because I prefer they don't taste as good on their own.
6. Walnuts are hard to eat, look like a brain and have a weird after taste. However, they're nice in banana bread.
