GOOD TO KNOW ABOUT WALNUTS
Origin: Walnuts originated in the regions surrounding the Mediterranean and Central Asia. They have been part of the human diet for thousands of years.
Availability: Walnuts are available year-round, though they are typically harvested in the fall.
How to Select: Choose walnuts that are plump and have a uniform light brown color. Avoid those with shriveled kernels or a rancid smell. If buying in-shell, select those that feel heavy for their size and do not rattle when shaken.
Storage:
- Room Temperature: Store walnuts in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to a month.
- Refrigeration: For longer storage, refrigerate walnuts in an airtight container, where they can last up to 6 months.
- Freezing: Walnuts can be frozen for up to a year. Place them in a sealed container or freezer bag to maintain freshness.
Serving Size: A standard serving size of walnuts is about 30 grams, which is approximately 1/4 cup or a small handful.
Good to Know: Walnuts are technically drupes, not true nuts. They are rich in healthy fats, particularly omega-3 fatty acids, protein, fiber, and antioxidants. Consuming walnuts may support heart health, brain function, and provide anti-inflammatory benefits.
Nutritional Peak: Walnuts are best consumed during their peak season for maximum flavor and nutritional benefits. They are harvested in the fall, but their nutritional value remains high when properly stored year-round.
Culinary Uses: Walnuts can be used in a variety of dishes, including baked goods, salads, pasta, and as a topping for yogurt or oatmeal. They can also be eaten on their own as a snack.
