Heart-healthy recipes
Scientific research suggests California Walnuts may offer benefits to your heart, for example a handful of walnuts a day can have a positive effect on the elasticity of the blood vessels helping to keep the cardiovascular system healthy[1].
California Walnuts are also the only tree nut to contain a significant amount of the plant-based omega-3, alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), 2.7g/ 30g, that the body needs but can only get from food and which helps maintain normal blood cholesterol levels[2].
The mild and creamy flavour of California Walnuts means they can be used to add extra taste and texture to a variety of dishes. So why not try them in one of these heart healthy breakfast, lunch, dinner or snack ideas this February, and beyond?
