Why do we avoid nuts on Rosh Hashanah? 🍎🍯🌰

So, there's two reasons given. One is because of  the Gematria. We know that in Rosh Hashanah we're   very big into symbolism. Rosh Hashanah we have  different fruit that have different symbolism   to them. The gematria, the numerical value of  the word "egoz," refers to a certain type of a   nut, is the same as the gematria of "cheit," of  sin, and we don't want to have any association   with sins, with cheit on Rosh Hashanah, and  therefore we avoid eating egoz. What about   other nuts? There are shkedim, there all types  of nuts out there that have different names to   them. The Poskim say, the Magen Avraham says,  that we avoid eating all nuts on Rosh Hashanah;   nuts tend to cause a person to have lots of  phlegm. They'll have to clear their throat.   They might miss out on hearing the shofar,  hearing the tekiyat shofar. All nuts are   avoided for this reason. Some will avoid it  during the entire Aseret Yemei Teshuvah, even   though we're not listening to the shofar anymore  because of the Gematria. The whole 10 days we're   trying to start the year without any cheit or any  illusion of cheit, and therefore people will avoid   eating nuts through Yom Kippur, even some through  Sukkot, to start off the year without any cheit.
