Description:
Walnuts, commonly known as Akhrot in Hindi, are a type of tree nut that have a rich, buttery flavor with a slightly bitter aftertaste. They are encased in a hard, wrinkled shell that is usually divided into two halves. The edible part is the seed, which is also segmented into two lobes. Originating from the regions surrounding the Mediterranean and Central Asia, walnuts have been cultivated for thousands of years and are now grown in many parts of the world, including the United States, China, and Iran. Notable for their distinct brain-like shape, walnuts are not only a culinary delight but also a powerhouse of nutrition. They are rich in healthy fats, protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Their unique combination of nutrients makes them beneficial for heart health, brain function, and overall well-being. Walnuts can be consumed raw, roasted, or used as an ingredient in various dishes, including salads, desserts, and baked goods.
