Besides holiday bakery treats, walnuts are great in so many other ways. One example: Try using them in place of expensive pine nuts the next time you make pesto. They’re also a substitute that is as good and far less costly! Of course, they are terrific in cereals, trail mixes, salads and more.
Additional benefits include:
