Walnuts?… Sure, Why Not? by diet234: 5:20pm On Oct 25, 2014
It’s a tasty treat

Walnuts not only taste great, but are a rich source of heart-healthy monounsaturated fats and an excellent source of those hard to find omega-3 fatty acids. Like most nuts, they can easily be added to your everyday meal either as a snack, chopped and added to your favorite salad or vegetable dish, or used as a fruit or dessert.

A very nutritious nut

There can be a slight bitterness in the skin, but the nutritional benefits of walnuts cannot be overemphasized especially when consumed in whole form, including the skin. Approximately 90% of the phenols in walnuts are found in the skin, including key phenolic acids, tannins, and flavonoids.
Walnuts, being an excellent source of anti-inflammatory, omega-3 essential fatty acids, in the form of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) has repeatedly been shown to help improve a wide variety of cardiovascular functions, including blood pressure. In a particular research study, adults have shown significant increase in their blood levels of ALA with as few as 4 walnuts per day.

I find them tasteless and plain.

Cashew nuts are a whole lot better tastier in my opinion...

Yea, honestly, I think so too. But at some point, you'll get to acquire the taste. Especially, now you know its essence. Try it.

I have o!

The darn nuts are still in my Kitchen cupboard. Haven't got the heart to throw them out, nor the courage to try them out anymore. They just taste like cardboard...

Haahaha "cardboard"??..wow! Well, you can crush them in a blender and use to thicken eba (fried cassava flour or garri meal) or added to your daily consumption of cereals, in order to still savor what nutrients it has to give. Pls follow us on social media to get more tips on functional foods.

I meant eba - that kind made with hot water, to get a semisolid paste.
