Density 43 · -22 vs Nuts & seeds medianDried hickory nuts score 43 of 100, a Fair rating that ranks 47th of 60 in the Nuts & seeds category, well below the group's median of 65. Still, 100 g delivers real minerals: 41% of the Daily Value for magnesium, 25% for protein, and 23% for dietary fiber, all present in a dense, fat-forward 657 calories per 100 g.
Hickory nuts are eaten shelled and raw or toasted, much like pecans, their close botanical cousin, and stirred into baked goods or eaten by the handful. A cup runs to 120 g, so portioning matters given the calorie density, and at 7 g of saturated fat per 100 g they're richer than some other nuts. Walnuts score noticeably higher in this category and make a reasonable swap for anyone weighing the ranking.
