From the archives of Rob Cockerham…
I found this one interesting because I’ve always wondered about the breakdown of all the nuts inside a can of mixed nuts. (Haven’t you?)
Here is Rob’s one-of-a-kind look at just what goes inside a can of mixed nuts…
Rob’s Cockeyed website is one of my favorites.
I especially like his “How Much Is Inside?” column, where he takes everyday, normal items and delves deeper to see exactly what is inside.
This one is a classic.
Ever wonder how many of each different type of nut is actually inside a can of mixed nuts?
Well, here’s your answer: There are 371 nuts in an 11.5 ounce can, and 253½ of them are peanuts.
Here’s the breakdown:
- Peanuts – 253½ (67%)
- Almonds – 76 (20%)
- Cashews – 21½ (6%)
- Hazelnuts – 9 (2%)
- Pecans – 8 (2%)
- Brazil Nuts – 8 (2%)
I love my kitchen… and I like to cook. But my #1 requirement is that recipes have fewer than 7 ingredients (or arrive on my doorstep via a food delivery service). My absolute favorite thing about being in the kitchen is trying out new gadgets, cookware, and storage containers! I'm SUPER organized in the kitchen (and everywhere else) and I have every gadget I could possibly need neatly and compactly tucked away until I need it. I share only the simplest recipes (which is great for people who don't like to cook), along with time-saving food tips and cooking tricks (that will save you time and money). When I'm not cooking, cleaning, or organizing my kitchen… you can find me at the corner of Good News & Fun Times as publisher of The Fun Times Guide (32 fun & helpful websites).
