- Walnuts A Real Spoil From Nature’s Pantry
Composition:Walnuts are a good source of both Omega-3 (Linolenic Acid) and Omega-6 (Linoleic Acid) essential fatty acids. The fatty acids in walnuts and the 15-20 percent protein will nourish the nervous system. (See Dietary Fat Sources Chart)
Walnuts provide a balanced all-round nutritional package, with all the main nutritional components being present in useful amounts. They provide excellent protein value because of their balanced composition of essential amino acids. Protein availability will be further improved when walnuts are used in combination with other protein sources. Their mix of minerals is similar to that of most other nuts – with iron and potassium being present in appreciable measure. While walnuts are high in fat, 90% of the fat is unsaturated.
Walnuts are known as brain food not only because they look like “little brains,” but also because of their nutritional profile.
Walnuts are cholesterol-free. Recent research has shown that walnuts and almonds add a cholesterol-reducing wallop even to an ordinary low-fat diet. Intake should be limited, however, so that we do not gain weight.
In China a common treatment for constipation is to slowly chew about 3 ounces of walnuts.
To treat kidney stones the Chinese pan-fry unsalted walnuts in vegetable oil until crunchy, and this they then blend with water and sugar. They take this syrupy potion until the pain and stones have passed. [We would try fructose or honey in place of sugar].
Uses: Walnuts may be eaten raw or they may be used in baking. They may also be crushed and used to add a bio-friendly “crunch” to soups, fruit salads, salads and cereals. For a great bio-friendly after-meal snack they may be gently toasted and salted.
