Description

Walnuts (juglans) are a delicious way to add extra nutrition, flavor to your meal. While walnuts
are harvested in October, but they are available year-round and a great source of those 
all-important omega-3 fatty acids. According to the researchers,'' Walnuts rank above peanuts,
almonds, pecans, pistachios and other nuts. A handful of walnuts contains almost twice as many
antioxidants as an equivalent amount of any other commonly consumed nut. Antioxidants in 
walnuts were 2 to 15 times as potent as vitamin E renowned for their powerful antioxidant 
effects, which protect the body against damaging natural chemicals involved in causing diseases.

Walnuts are packed with omega-3 fatty acids: A diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids is beneficial 
in reducing depression, attention-deficit hyperreactivity disorder (ADHD), cancer, and 
Alzheimer's disease and there is also strong evidence that omega-3s counter inflammatory 
diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and Crohn's disease.

Beat inflammatory diseases: Walnuts have the power to tackle inflammatory diseases like asthma,
psoriasis, eczema, and rheumatoid arthritis.
Raises immunity: Walnuts boat antioxidant properties that enhance the immune system and protect
against aging, cancer, and neurological disorders.
Storage: Due to their high polyunsaturated fat content, walnuts are extremely perishable, and 
care should be taken in their storage. Store walnuts in low moisture, (55 to 65 percent 
relative humidity), and low temperature 32-38 degrees F (0-3.3 degrees C) conditions. To ensure
maximum shelf life and freshness, keep walnuts in an odor-free environment. Walnuts keep well in
refrigerated conditions, away from excessive heat, moisture, and light.
