In general, nuts are good sources of fat, fiber and protein, and are a great healthy snack option. This California specialty comes from the careful breeding of two varieties to unite the beautiful red-skinned Persian walnuts and the creaminess of English walnuts. Melissa’s Red Walnuts have deep cherry-colored skin and bright, ivory-colored meat that is sweet, with no trace of bitterness. Red walnuts can add something special to a variety of courses in any meal; crush and dredge your proteins, candy or roast as a salad topper, or coarsely chop for your next cookie recipe – the options are endless!
