Walnuts Dahlonega GA

Walnuts qualify as a super-food as they contain a significant amount of omega-3 fatty acids. No other nut even comes close—not to mention the great flavor and texture they add to dishes from appetizers to salads, entrees and desserts. Read on to know more about walnuts.

Walnuts

On Friday, I posted a recipe for Nutty Stuffed Mushroom Caps , courtesy of the Walnut Marketing Board. Did you know walnuts qualify as a super-food? Chalk it up to their “significant amount of omega-3 fatty acids ,” says registered dietitian and Food Network host Ellie Krieger (right). “No other nut even comes close—not to mention the great flavor and texture they add to dishes from appetizers to salads, entrees and desserts.” Contrary to what the anti-fat brigade promulgates, all of us require some fat in our diets. The best way to meet this nutritional need is to opt for the “good” fats found in foods like walnuts. “Eating a handful of walnuts every day is one of the easiest ways you can improve your diet,” Krieger says. “And adding walnuts to favorite dishes improves taste and health.” When shopping at your local natural and organic food store, consider some of Krieger’s culinary suggestions:

  • Substitute ground walnuts for some of the meat in meat loaf and meatballs. Make a large batch and freeze leftovers. 
  • Toast a large batch of walnuts and keep them on hand in the freezer for use in salads, side dishes, desserts or as a snack. 
  • Replace part of the butter in a tart crust with chopped nuts. 
  • Have healthy grab-and-go food on hand: walnuts and dried fruit in baggies, individual yogurts, and easy-travel fruit like apples and tangerines.

Candied Organic Spiced Nuts View More
Written by Laura Klein   

Use as many organic ingredients you can find for optimum flavor.

4-6 cups peanut oil or canola oil for deep-frying
2 teaspoons Chinese five spice powder
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon (Ground cinnamon from a whole cinnamon stick is the best. Use a coffee grinder to grind whole sticks. Break stick in two and grind.)
2 teaspoons ground ginger
2 teaspoons ground cumin
3/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 cups organic pecan halves
2 cups organic walnut halves and pieces
2 cups organic raw cashews
1 cup powdered sugar sifted

1/2 cup matchstick size crystallized ginger

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Heat oil in a deep fryer or deep pot to 350º to 375º. Mix next five ingredients in a small bowl.

Place nuts in a sieve, and blanch briefly in hot water and up to 1 minute for larger pieces. Blanching will remove the tannin flavor in the nuts and sweeten them. Immediately toss nuts in powdered sugar. Stir nuts until all sugar is melted and clumps are gone (if clumps remain on nuts, nuts will not fry properly).

Working in small batches, use a large slotted spoon or fry basket submerge nuts in hot oil and fry until golden about one minute. Wait until foam subsides to add more nuts so the oil does not overflow the pot. Remove nuts and place on unlined baking sheet and cool slightly.

While nuts are still warm, transfer to a bowl and toss with 1/2 of spice mixture. Taste for seasoning add more spice mixture as needed to taste and toss again.

Makes about 6 cups.
