CHRISTMAS CRUNCH
California walnuts are one of the most nutritious nuts around – they’re a good source of omega 3s and research suggests that they could support heart, brain and gut health. They’re also incredibly versatile, especially at Christmas. Mild and sweet in flavour, they’re delicious in festive desserts, mains and canapés. So whether you’re making a nut roast for vegetarian guests, whipping up sweet treats or simply want a nutritious snack, they’re a smart addition to the Christmas shopping list.
