Today the health conscious are lapping up plant-based foods as they know it’s a healthy way of eating. And, walnuts are definitely figuring in their list of healthy plantbased foods. After all, walnuts are nutrient powerhouses comprising polyunsaturated fat (13g/18g), plant-based protein (4g/28g), fibre (2g/28g) and omega-3 alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). In fact, walnuts are the only tree nut to provide an excellent source of ALA – the plant-based form of Omega-3. In 28 grams (12-14 halves; ¼ cup) there are 2.5 grams of ALA which is five times more than the amount found in the next highest nut!
Going by the treasure trove of nutrients walnuts pack in, it’s not really surprising that they are becoming an integral part of hotel and restaurant menus. Hoteliers and restaurateurs are opting for walnuts to add flavour, crunch and depth to every course from savoury appetisers, to hearty entrées and desserts.
Emerging as the food of choice
Also, considering the times that we’re living in, the Food Safety Standards Authority of Ind ia (FSSAI ) recent ly suggested incorporating foods like walnuts into one’s diet to maintain optimal immune function and good health. As per FSSAI Eat Right During COVID-19 Guidelines, Vitamin-B rich plant-based foods such as walnuts helps strengthen the nervous and immune system. It’s no wonder then that walnuts are emerging as the food of choice during these trying times.
