Walnuts are extremely healthy and tasty nuts, but unfortunately they are too high in calories.
Just 3.5 oz (100 grams) of raw walnuts contain nearly 650 kilocalories, which is more than for the same amount of chocolate.
Although they have a relatively high caloric value, it is good for walnuts to be an integral part of your menu, because they are very rich in vitamins from groups A, E, B, P, C. In addition, they contain potassium, iron, magnesium, sodium, phosphorus, etc.
The high caloric content of walnuts is due to the fact that they have an extremely high fat content - nearly 60%.
The fats in them are unsaturated, ie. even if you eat too many of them, at least it won't affect your cholesterol.
The high content of iodine, especially in walnuts, gives them a prize in the fight against thyroid diseases, which are very common.
It's also good to know about the miraculous properties of the combination of walnuts and honey and to treat yourself to something tasty, take a look at these walnut pastries, walnut cakes or even walnut sauces.
