Which nuts are best to put into brownies?

Walnuts tend to be the most popular nuts to add to brownies and other dessert bars. However, pecans can be substituted if you don't have walnuts, and the texture is quite similar. If you don't like walnuts or pecans, you can add peanuts, pistachios, almonds, or macadamia nuts to your brownies. The flavor and texture will be different, but they'll still be delicious.

Do nuts have a lot of sodium?

Nuts that have been roasted or cooked in some way usually have added salt, while nuts that are raw do not. But take a look at your packaging. Some roasted nuts are labeled " lightly salted" or " unsalted," which means they only have minimal salt added or do not have added salt.
