The different varieties of walnuts include walnuts, pecans, Brazil nuts and cashews. In the following we will describe the most important aspects of each of them, so that you can choose the variety you like best.
Common walnut. Also known as walnut or walnut walnut, it is the most classic and most sold variety. It stands out for its brain-shaped fruit which, paradoxically, has great benefits for neuronal and cognitive development, thanks to the fact that it is a neuroprotective food.
Pecan nuts. Pecans are the nuts with the highest antioxidant content. They also have a sweet taste, even though they contain very little sugar, which is why they are widely used to make all kinds of desserts, such as ice cream, cakes, jellies and biscuits, among others.
Brazil nut. This nut is not really a nut, but a seed belonging to a very long-lived Amazonian tree. It is very rich in antioxidants and healthy fats, and is a great natural option for quickly replenishing lost energy and vitality.
Cashew nut. Also known as cashew, this nut is rich in minerals and protein, and helps restore skin tissue, strengthen bones, and relax the mind. It is also very effective as a slimming treatment (as long as the doses are respected, otherwise it can be toxic).
