Superfoods in Focus

Walnuts – Little powerhouses packed with flavor

Superfoods are foods with an exceptionally high content of micronutrients – meaning that even small amounts deliver a concentrated dose of health benefits. When we hear the term superfood, we often think of exotic ingredients from distant countries, such as goji berries, chia seeds, or maca root.
But there are also local treasures right on our doorstep that can easily compete with these imported power foods.
Seasonal Star: The Walnut

Autumn is the prime season for local superfoods – and the walnut is undoubtedly a true classic of this time of year.
Hidden beneath its hard shell is a flavorful kernel brimming with vital nutrients, making it a real powerhouse for your health and well-being.

Among all types of nuts, walnuts contain the highest amount of alpha-linolenic acid, an essential omega-3 fatty acid. This valuable nutrient helps protect the heart and blood vessels and has strong anti-inflammatory properties. Walnuts are also an excellent source of vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant that shields cells from damage and supports healthy, glowing skin. Thanks to their high content of B vitamins, walnuts are regarded as genuine brain food: they promote concentration and memory, helping to keep your mind sharp well into old age.
In addition, they provide essential minerals such as magnesium and potassium, which play a key role in muscle and nerve function. And let’s not forget their high fiber content, which supports digestion and helps you feel full for longer.

Freshly harvested in autumn, walnuts are not only packed with health benefits but also a delicious seasonal treat. Whether enjoyed as a simple snack, sprinkled over crunchy salads, added to hearty dishes, or incorporated into sweet desserts, they enrich any meal plan with both taste and nutrition.
