The walnut is a type of tree nut that has a hard, tough shell. The inner meat looks sort of like a tiny brain… no wonder they’re called brain food! When it comes to taste - walnuts are meaty and rich, sweet, and earthy. The papery skin adds a nice bitterness.
Walnuts are most often eaten on their own as a snack but also known to be a great addition to muffins and cakes, like banana bread, carrot cakes and zucchini loafs. They can be added to salads, pastas, breakfast cereals and soups. A great recipe to include them in instead of pine nuts is a basil pesto! Combine with basil, garlic, olive oil and parmesan cheese.
These nuts are rich in omega-3 fats and contain higher amounts of antioxidants than most other foods. Eating walnuts may improve brain health and prevent heart disease and cancer
