Organic walnuts
There is probably no pair of nuts more easily confused than pecans and walnuts.
Firstly, they belong to different genera and have different flavour profiles; pecans have a sweeter, buttery flavour, while walnuts have a more robust, earthy taste. In terms of appearance, pecans are generally more oval and reddish-brown, while walnuts are rounder and have a lighter, beige shell. Moreover, the culinary uses of the two nuts differ, with pecans often used in sweet dishes such as cakes, while walnuts are mostly used in savoury dishes such as salads and pesto. Finally, their nutritional profiles differ, as pecans tend to be higher in fat and calories while walnuts are higher in omega-3 fatty acids.
Walnuts are sweet and have warming properties. These nuts have been known since ancient times as brain food.
