On the ninth day of Christmas my foodie gave to me...

Nine Ounces of Nifty Nuts

You can find festive 9-ounce cans of nuts from Planters in your neighborhood grocery store. Dress it up with a colorful bow and holiday gift tag and you have the ninth festive food gift. One of my favorite Planters Nut can collections is:

The lightly salted Heart-Healthy Mix with peanuts, almonds, pistachios, pecans, walnuts & hazelnuts

The health claim on the label reads "Scientific evidence suggests but does not prove that eating 1.5 ounces per day of most nuts, such as peanuts, almonds, pistachios, pecans, walnuts & hazelnuts, as part of a diet low in saturated fat & cholesterol & not resulting in increased caloric intake may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease."
