Roasted Salted Walnuts

Walnuts are a gourmet chef's best friend. The light-colored nuts make an excellent addition to any recipe or trail mix, but also make a great snack on their own. Walnuts are considered a great source of antioxidants, manganese, copper, phosphorus and magnesium, so they're perfect for health-conscious individuals. They're also a great source of dietary fiber, protein, omega-3 fatty acids, alpha linolenic acid (ALA) and the amino acid arginine. It has been shown that eating walnuts can also significantly reduce total and LDL cholesterol levels.
