Hi it’s Pierrick. In this video I’m going to talk about some of the main walnut nutrition facts.
Walnuts are a great source of calories, since they provide around 700 calories per 100g.
They are also a good source of protein. They provide around 15g per 100g.
Walnuts are rich in unsaturated fat. 100g provides around 47g of polyunsaturated fat and 14g of monounsaturated fat.
They provide around 6.7g of fibre per 100g which is 22% of our daily needs.
Walnuts are rich in polyphenols which are antioxidants. 100g provides around 1600mg.
They are rich in lots of minerals. 100g of walnuts contains more than 100% of our daily needs in manganese and copper,
between 28% and 69% in phosphorus, magnesium, iron and zinc, and 13% in potassium and calcium.
Lastly, 100g of walnuts contains around 128% of the daily recommended amount in vitamin E for women and 96% for men
and between 11% and 56% in vitamin B1, B2, B3, B6 and B9.
To summarise walnuts are notably rich in calories, protein, unsaturated fat, fibre, polyphenols, minerals such as manganese, copper and phosphorus, vitamin E and B vitamins.
