The Choice for Better Health:

Satisfaction is key to unlocking human happiness, however…

A balance is necessary to ensure that all of our essential needs are met. For many, those considerations are forgone to satisfy fleeting cravings. While satisfying those cravings is also part of a happy and healthy diet, compromising the essentials of the mind and body is hardly ever needed.
Hand in Hand, dates and walnuts are not often at the tip of the tongue when people begin listing healthy foods and ingredients. Yet, both offer unique benefits for the heart and health!

Walnuts in a nutshell:

Walnuts are the only tree-nut that is an excellent source of plant based Omega-3 Alpha-Linolenic Acid (ALA). At 2.5g they have 5x more ALA than their closest competition which is the Pecan.
Omega-3 ALA is found in nuts and is reported to have a healthy impact on heart, brain, and aging health.
In effect, Walnuts make it easier to get healthier one handful at a time!
