has anyone noticed any benefits from eating walnuts everyday

Walnuts are my evening nibble instead of sweets, and I'm fortunate that my DD gave me a carrier bag full from her tree. I had stopped eating eggs as they made me very constipated but now with my daily dose of four walnuts I can resume eating eggs.(if you know what I mean!)

As part of weight reduction scheme I have a few walnuts first thing every morning. Works a treat and helps metabolism kick in in a friendly way. Done this for a few years now. Just a way of life. Wouldn't be surprised if I actually found the tip on here.

I use walnut oil sometimes, in salad dressing. It has a lovely flavour.

I’ll give it a go - they probably go down nicely with a glass of something bubbly.

Ugh. My least favourite nut. However, will be giving them a go now!

I love all nuts and could eat them all the time. A favourite dish is Gorgonzola cheese, pear and walnut salad.
I toast the walnuts in butter and honey in a frying pan first.

I Have two enormous trees and many smaller ones that have self seeded. We get kilos of them every year and I struggle with the vast quantities. So pleased to hear about this so will be adding some to breakfast. No wonder the dogs have such wonderful coats!

Good to hear from you again Ann.
Our dogs used to pick up the fallen walnuts in their shells off the ground and crack them open, The nut was a treat for them.
ps we're back in England now, miss France so much!

I think there is about to be a walnut shortage as grans zoom off to the shops for supplies! I buy these for my son who is vegetarian. I knew they were good for you but not the specifics like metabolism, skin and keeping you regular so I shall start having the odd one or two. Fattening though, so in small quantities I guess. They are rather expensive to munch all the time anyway. For the record, walnuts aren't good for dogs. Especially any that have been hanging around for a while or from your own trees as they can produce a mould that is toxic to dogs that causes convulsions and in large quantities death. If one is gobbled up because you've dropped it then no cause for concern but best to avoid. Thanks for the tip Travelsafar.

Oooooo, walnuts on my shopping list, thanks for the tips x

I really don't like any nuts at all but I can handle walnuts in coffee & walnut cake- does that count?

Of course it does Crafty! X

Must put in a word for Almonds.

Cherry tree.
Most mornings I have a Nutribullit shake made up of spinach, avocado, banana raspberries, blueberries. And always throw in a few walnuts too. That way you can’t taste them, but getting all the goodness.

I've got rather nice skin and always thought I'd inherited it from my mum rather than anything I eat but who knows. I eat healthily and always have done and that includes a variety of nuts rather than one particular nut. I'm not keen on hazelnuts or macadamias but apart from that I eat most others fairly regularly. I certainly wouldn't count them as I eat them by the handful added to muesli and as snacks etc. I find the best muesli is Holland and Barrett's rich Muesli with added nuts and fruits eaten with Greek yoghurt.

Brazil Nuts are good for you too. I think they help the skin and also contain selenium which is something we need but often don't get naturally.

The dose is 5 Brazil Nuts a day.

Only that some walnuts seem to go through intact. Which can be a tad painful ?

I buy my walnuts pre packed in Lidl. Cheapest by far I can find but I'm always on the lookout for better.

Love Lidl walnuts, also their Brazils. Can't stop at 1 or 2 tho, or even 3 or 4. I do wonder if I should pay more and get organic from the health food store tho. Anyone know how non organic nuts are treated?

Walnuts are great as a snack ( but no more than 4 Brazil’s apparently).

My home-made rocket fuel breakfast is made up of every sort of nut and seed mixed together with plant-based yoghourt. Delicious. Now three score years and ten and hair is still salt and pepper rather than totally grey and very few facial wrinkles so maybe it works (or it's just the genes!).

Isn’t there a shortage of Brazil nut trees? Something about them not being able to be grown in plantations and being destroyed with the forests for mono cultures?

I crushed down a load of walnuts and have started sprinting them on my cereal. Its only been 9 days so I will have to wait and see.

I love walnuts squashed into cake or atop it, or a few bits mixed in with cereal, but can’t just sit and eat them on their own.
Is there any real evidence that they make you look any better?

Every morning I eat Muesli with fruit, usually blueberries or raspberries, topped with walnuts and a drizzle of honey.

It keeps me regular. I have good skin and very few wrinkles, but I think that's a genetic trait as my Mum, who didn't eat walnuts , or any nuts really, had beautiful skin.

I do prefer my walnuts in a slice of coffee or walnut cake, it has to be said. Chocolate and walnut brownies are a favourite too, and I am not a lover of chocolate cakes really. I am not tempted by nut-free brownies at all.
