Raw Taco

These walnut are not only delicious, but literally bursting with nutrients and health. Walnuts offer us healthy fat (including omega-3 fatty acids). Omega 3s can also have a beneficial effect on cardiovascular disease and depression. Walnuts are a great source of plant-based protein and contain vitamin B6, magnesium, and fiber. The combination of healthy fats, protein, and fiber in walnuts helps to increase satisfaction and fullness.
