Kashmiri walnuts sourced from the hills of Kashmir are best known for their unique flavor and nutrient-rich characteristics. Compared with other nuts, which typically contain a high amount of monounsaturated fats, Kashmiri walnuts are unique because the fats in them are primarily polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and are the only nut with a significant amount of alpha-linolenic acid. Moreover, Kashmiri walnuts have insignificant amounts of sodium and are cholesterol free.
