Nutritious Indulgence

Whether you’re fueling up for a school day or the bustle of everyday life, California walnuts make a delicious and nutritious addition to your favorite fall meals and snacks. One ounce of walnuts (about a handful) provides 2.5 grams of omega-3 ALA (that’s more than any other nut!) and 4g of protein, 2g fiber and a good source of magnesium (45mg). So grab a handful of walnuts and add them to your meals or snacks for added crunch and nutrition.
