Collection: Walnut (Akhrot)

Walnuts (Akhrot) are nutrient-dense nuts available in various varieties, including the English (Persian) walnut, black walnut, and white walnut (butternut). Quality parameters include size, color, shell integrity, and kernel plumpness, with premium variants exhibiting light-colored, well-filled kernels. Major producers are the USA, China, Iran, and Turkey. Nutritionally, walnuts are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, protein, fiber, magnesium, and vitamin E, offering health benefits like improved heart health, brain function, and reduced inflammation. Consuming a handful (about 28 grams) daily is advised to harness these benefits, but moderation is key due to their high caloric content.
