Walnuts – the clever Source of Omega-3 in your Museli

Walnut trees are actually some of the oldest trees that exist. Humans have enjoyed their fruits – walnuts –for more than 9.000 years and in Ancient Greece they were even known as a true health food with healing properties. Botanically speaking, walnuts are real nuts but they were actually considered stone fruits for a rather long time. Even though we only ever really use the term “walnuts” there are a lot of different varieties with almost royal titles like “Red Danube Nut”, “Esterhazy II”, “Franquette” or “Wonder of Monrepos”.
