Walnut

Walnuts are nutrient-rich tree nuts derived from the Juglans genus, with the most commonly consumed species being Juglans regia. There are several varieties of walnuts, each with unique characteristics. English or Persian walnuts (Juglans regia) are among the most common and widely cultivated.

Walnuts are a nutritional powerhouse, providing a good source of omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, protein, fiber, and various vitamins and minerals. Incorporating walnuts into a balanced diet may contribute to heart health and overall well-being.

Walnuts are versatile in the kitchen and are often enjoyed on their own as a snack. They are also a key ingredient in salads, baked goods, and desserts. Walnut oil, extracted from the nuts, is used in cooking and as a flavorful addition to dressings.
