About A handful of walnuts

A handful of walnuts, typically about 7 whole nuts or 1 ounce, is a nutrient-dense snack with roots in ancient Persia, now enjoyed globally across cuisines. Walnuts are rich in healthy fats, particularly omega-3 fatty acids, which support heart and brain health. They also provide protein, fiber, and key vitamins and minerals like magnesium, copper, and vitamin E. These features make walnuts a great choice for boosting energy and supporting overall wellness. Their antioxidant properties further promote cellular health and help combat inflammation. However, walnuts are calorically dense due to their fat content, so portion control is important to avoid excess consumption. While often eaten raw or toasted, walnuts can be incorporated into salads, baked goods, or even savory dishes for added flavor and crunch. Whether snacked on their own or added to recipes, walnuts are a versatile and nutritious addition to a balanced diet.
