General Information About Walnuts

Walnuts are one of the most nutrient-dense tree nuts, prized for their rich, buttery flavor and versatility in both sweet and savory dishes. They come from the Juglans genus and are primarily harvested from the English walnut (Juglans regia) and the black walnut (Juglans nigra) species.

Native to regions stretching from the Mediterranean to Central Asia, walnuts have been consumed for thousands of years. Today, they are cultivated worldwide, with the United States—particularly California—being a leading producer.

These nuts are known for their distinct brain-like shape and are commonly used in baking, cooking, and as a snack. They can be eaten raw, toasted, or incorporated into recipes like granola, salads, bread, and desserts. Check out this article by Healthline about walnuts.
