Walnuts

Walnuts

Everyday

Walnuts are a nutrient-dense tree nut recognized by their brain-like wrinkled kernels and hard, spherical shells. They provide one of the richest plant-based sources of omega-3 fatty acids, particularly alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), along with notable antioxidants like melatonin. The crunchy texture and earthy, slightly bitter flavor make them versatile for both raw snacking and incorporation into baked goods, salads, and savory dishes, though their high healthy fat content contributes to significant calorie density.
