Most nuts are loaded with potassium and minerals (including calcium). Eaten alone or with legumes, they provide a good source of protein.
Nuts and seeds are also a good source of folate, or folic acid (helps prevent neurological birth defects) and iron.
These little gems provide Vitamin E, and many B vitamins.
Instead of chips and a soda, try going nuts. Kids love them with a simple glass of lemonade! (Oh, and peanuts are actually legumes, but you don't have to tell your kids.)
