Health Benefits of Organic Walnuts

Raw organic walnuts are an excellent source of omega-3 essential fatty acids. In fact, they are one of the richest food sources of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). A 2009 study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition compared the effects of walnuts and fatty fish on coronary heart disease. The research found that although both of these food sources are rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, walnuts were more effective at lowering LDL "bad" cholesterol in healthy patients.

Polyphenols, a class of antioxidants linked to the prevention of degenerative diseases, are abundant in organic raw walnuts! Research from a 2012 published in the journal Food & Function identified walnuts as the leading source of polyphenols among nine different types of raw and roasted nuts. Organic walnuts also contain the amino acid L-arginine, which helps manage blood pressure. Research from a 2010 study published in the journal Medical Science Monitor found that L-arginine supplementation lowered blood pressure. High blood pressure is associated with serious conditions like heart disease.
