🌱 Like many nuts, the impressive little walnuts are botanically classified as a fruit, but they are technically considered a tree nut. Walnuts have a formidable shell that resembles a human head, so ancient Greeks referred to them as karyon (meaning head). Crack open that tough exterior and you’ll find a bumpy textured meat that bears a marked resemblance to the brain. These are very wise nuts, as Walnuts are among the oldest tree food known to man, being traced back to 7,000 B.C. ⌛

🌱 FRESH FACTS: Walnut powder and shells are often used to make natural soaps that are great for gifting. Of course, they’re great for pampering yourself! If you're hungry, and for those of you looking for a plant-based alternative to meat, walnuts are the answer to your foodie dreams. Use them as a base for a meatless chorizo, give your “meat”balls a tasty twist to add flavor and texture to a number of meatless recipes. But how can you eat them, THEY'RE SO CUTE! 😍
