The one component of walnuts that is not found this high in any other tree nuts is alpha-linolenic acids or ALAs. ALAs, are also known as Omega-3s that you can find in other foods like salmon or flax. They have cardiovascular defense mechanisms that work similarly to pecans, but they also contribute to inflammation-lowering specific to the prevention of strokes. Walnuts also contain more folic acid, phosphorus, B6, and iron. Folic acid supports fertility and helps to grow tissue, phosphorus builds bones and teeth, B6 balances hormones and aids in metabolism, and iron plays a vital role in carrying oxygen to blood cells.
He quality of our walnuts is determined by a series of procedures in which the percentage of the kernel in walnut according to its weight is measured.
Our walnuts have 55-59 percent of kernel, which make them walnuts of an excellent quality.
