California Walnuts

Mark your calendars for May 17th!

Walnuts are versatile, delicious and nutritious, pairing well with both sweet and savory ingredients. There are many reasons to love walnuts on National Walnut Day - here's just a few:

Just 28g of walnuts (about a handful) provides 2.5g of plant-based omega-3 ALA (more than any other nut), 4g of protein, 2g fiber and a good source of magnesium (45mg).1
Walnuts fit into a variety of recommended eating patterns, including the Mediterranean Diet, DASH Diet, a plant-based diet and more.
There have been three decades of published health-related research examining the effect of walnut consumption on heart health, brain health, gut health and more. Check out our website health research section for more information and detailed findings.
