Nut stash from the US

If you are a nut lover and are in the US, or someone can carry nuts from the US back for you, do give Costco's Kirkland-brand nuts a shot.  Everytime my sister visits from the US, she carries with her a few bags of Kirkland's nuts, and every single piece has tasted really fresh compared to the nuts I have bought in Chinatown. In August, my sister returned from the US again and brought back these bags of nuts for us.

Besides the above varities, Costco also sells pecans, ready to eat mixed nuts, chocolate nuts, etc. Unfortunately, they do not ship internationally. You can try Amazon.com but shipping will probably work out to be too expensive.

As stated in an earlier post, a good alternative to Amazon.com and another way get fresh tasting nuts is iHerb.com:
