Hammons Black Walnuts

“…the nutritional composition of Black walnut shows that this edible nut is a rich source of bioactive compounds capable of promoting multiple health benefits.”
—University of Nebraska Nutritional Study.

There is a lot of discussion around the flavor of Black Walnuts and how that is the biggest differentiator when compared to English walnuts. While there is definitely truth to that, we can’t forget about the incredible health benefits that are packed inside each little Black Walnut.  With the highest protein of any tree nut, Black Walnuts are also low in saturated fat, high in unsaturated fat, contain vitamin A, iron, minerals and fiber and serves as a cholesterol- and sugar-free snack or ingredient.

So yes, Black Walnuts are delicious in some of our favorite dessert dishes, but they are a health food powerhouse that can add a nutritional boost to your diet. Adding Black Walnuts to dishes like salads, yogurt and oatmeal, or by using Black Walnuts as an ingredient nut in fish or chicken recipes, brings added benefits and flavor to your everyday dishes.
