Nueces, or walnuts in Spanish, are nutrient-dense nuts commonly enjoyed worldwide and often associated with Mediterranean cuisine. These nuts are rich in healthy fats, particularly omega-3 fatty acids, which support heart and brain health. They are also packed with antioxidants, fiber, and protein, making them an excellent snack for sustained energy. Walnuts contain vitamins such as B6 and E, as well as minerals like magnesium, phosphorus, and zinc, contributing to overall wellness. Their origin traces back to regions in Central Asia and the Mediterranean, but they are now widely cultivated globally. While walnuts offer numerous health benefits, they are calorie-dense, so portion control is key. Consuming a small handful daily can complement a balanced diet without excessive calorie intake. Their versatility makes them ideal in sweet or savory dishes, including salads, baked goods, sauces, and nut butters.
