Nutrition Benefits of This Recipe:

Omega-3 Fatty Acids:

Walnuts are one of the few plant-based sources of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), a type of omega-3 fatty acid.

Omega-3 fatty acids are crucial for brain health, as they play a role in cognitive function and may help reduce the risk of age-related cognitive decline.

They also have anti-inflammatory properties, helping to reduce inflammation in the body and lower the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease and arthritis.

Omega-6 Fatty Acids:

Along with omega-3 fatty acids, walnuts contain omega-6 fatty acids, specifically linoleic acid (LA).

Omega-6 fatty acids are essential for maintaining healthy cell membranes and regulating inflammation.

While omega-6 fatty acids are necessary for health, it's important to maintain a balanced ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids for optimal health outcomes. The Mediterranean Diet, which includes a variety of foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids like walnuts and fish, tends to have a favorable omega-6 to omega-3 ratio.
