Blessing - Nuts During the Meal

Question

Hello, If someone wants to eat nuts at the beginning of the meal without accompanying them with bread, is a blessing required, or is it considered that they are eating them for satiation and they are part of the meal? Thank you very much.

Answer

Hello,

Nuts are intended for taste and not for satiation. Therefore, one should recite a blessing over them even during the meal.
