Organic Raw Walnuts

General Description

The walnut has a smooth green husk which splits open when the nuts are ripe enough for harvesting. The walnut has a light brown shell, formed into halves that holds two deeply ridged lobes of butterfly-shaped, light brown kernels, with a mild-flavored flesh. When mature, the outer shells harden and are easily cracked.

Origin

The walnut comes from the center of France and was not introduced to America until the 18th century.

Nutritional Benefits

The walnut is very unique among the list of tree nuts because of its particularly high content of polyunsaturated fatty acids. It is one of the few reliable sources of omega-3!

This nut is an excellent source of copper, magnesium, potassium, vitamin B6, folic acid and thiamine, which contains phosphorus, niacin, iron, riboflavin and acid pantothenic. Walnuts are also a good source of fiber.

The walnut is particularly infamous for its benefits on the cardiovascular system and Type 2 diabetes. But don’t be fooled…While the walnut is nutritious, it is also delicious
