Walnuts natural, 1 kg

Characteristics

Our walnuts are specially dried so that they last excellent all year round and do not go rancid or bitter. They are ideal for baking and cooking.

Walnuts are a high-quality source of protein (15 g in 100 g) and thanks to their higher fat content (65 g in 100 g), they fill you up quickly and are also recommended during a reduction diet and you will often find them in recipes for low-carbohydrate diets. They do not contain any cholesterol at all.

There are on average 2 milligrams of sodium and 441 milligrams of potassium in 100 grams of nuts. The same amount contains 60-70 grams of heart-healthy unsaturated fatty acids.

Walnuts are rich in antioxidants and are an excellent source of minerals, copper (1.36 mg per 100 g), zinc (3.36 mg per 100 g) or magnesium (158 mg per 100 g). We also get some vitamins from the walleyes, such as B vitamins and vitamin E.

Walnuts are excellent in cakes, they are indispensable in Christmas cookies, but we also love them in salads, risotto or pasta. You can use them to make basil pesto or nut butter, try adding them to granola or just enjoy them. Walnuts are great in any preparation!

Where walnuts grow

Although many Czechs have walnut trees in their gardens, the biggest producers of walnuts are China and the USA. Interestingly, walnuts begin to form on the tree even before the leaves appear on the branches. But they are harvested only at the end of the holidays or during September. If you want to pick them yourself, it is better to use gloves, the walnut oil turns the skin brown.

The royal walnut is one of the most commonly cultivated trees in the world. In some cultures, walnuts have become a symbol of fertility. For many of us, their shape and wrinkled surface remind us of the human brain.

Where do we import walnuts from?

Most often, we have walnuts from the USA and Chile, where they do well and in our opinion, they are also the tastiest from here (if we leave out the ones from our own gardens). We carefully inspect each batch to deliver the best and most delicious nuts to you.
