These raw California grown walnuts
are the finest quality nuts available, bursting with crunchy, all natural
mouthwatering flavor. Walnuts had been considered too fatty to be a healthy
snack, but the latest scientific evidence suggest that the nuts actually lower
blood cholesterol levels and are heart healthy. 90 percent of the fats in
walnuts are unsaturated, and the nuts are high in protein, fiber, calcium,
magnesium, potassium, vitamin E, and other antioxidants.
