Walnut

Walnuts are delicious nuts that come from the walnut tree, which is a type of plant. These nuts are known for their distinct shape and hard shell. They are commonly used in cooking and baking to add flavour and crunch to various dishes.

To make walnuts ready for consumption, the hard outer shell needs to be cracked open to reveal the edible nut inside. Once shelled, the walnut can be eaten as a snack, added to baked goods, or used in salads and other dishes. Walnuts can also be ground into a fine powder to be used in recipes like nut-based spreads or as a crunchy coating for meats or vegetables.

Walnuts are often listed as an ingredient in food labels due to their rich, nutty flavour and crunchy texture. They are commonly used in baking recipes like walnut brownies, cakes, and cookies to add a delicious nuttiness. They are also added to salads, granolas, and trail mixes for extra crunch and flavour. Walnuts are a versatile ingredient that can enhance both sweet and savoury dishes, making them a popular choice for many recipes.
