Walnuts

The omega-3 nut. Walnuts are the richest common source of alpha-linolenic acid, the plant-based omega-3 that most diets run short on, and they carry a heavy load of polyphenol antioxidants alongside it!

They have a distinctive slight bitterness that people either love or work around — roasting softens it considerably and brings out a deeper, warmer flavor. If you've only had raw walnuts from a grocery bag, a freshly roasted one is a different experience!

Indispensable for baking. Banana bread, brownies, and cookies all depend on them, and the difference between a fresh walnut and a stale one is the difference between the recipe working and not.

Dry roasted in small batches at our Downtown Frederick shop!
