Description
Walnuts are an excellent source of anti-inflammatory omega-3 essential fatty acids, in the form of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). Walnuts are also rich in antioxidants, including being a very good source of manganese and copper. They are also a good source of molybdenum and the B vitamin biotin. Walnuts are known as a superfood because they contain exceptionally high amounts of long chain polyunsaturated (LCP) fats, which are crucial to optimize fat metabolism.
