Walnuts (Unsalted)

Walnuts (Unsalted)s are the edible nuts of the walnut tree, commonly used in baking, salads, pesto and as a snack in cuisines worldwide; they are prized for their rich, slightly bitter flavor and crunchy texture. Nutritionally, walnuts are a calorie-dense source of mostly unsaturated fats and are notable for their omega-3 content, providing 9079mg of alpha-linolenic acid per 100 g. They also supply plant protein and fiber, plus minerals such as copper and manganese, and contain antioxidant polyphenols that contribute to their heart-healthy reputation, although they should be eaten in portion-controlled amounts due to their high energy density.
