Walnut is the fruit of walnut trees of the Juglandaceae family growing
up to 125 feet tall. All massively produced walnuts are of the type of
Persian Walnuts which is the only kind of walnut with large fruit part.
There are other types of walnuts such as black walnut and Japanese
walnut which are not as desirable. Persian walnuts have over time
become popular and are cultivated around the world, and therefore
several types of walnuts are deviated from the original Persian walnut.
Of those, we offer Payne walnut, Israeli walnut and of course the
original Persian walnut. In addition to many health benefits of
Walnuts, daily consumption of fresh walnuts may also prevent or delay
Alzheimer's disease.
