Description

"Black Walnut" (Juglans nigra) is a deciduous tree native to North America, producing nutrient-dense nuts known for their bold, earthy flavor. Its kernels contain omega-3 fatty acids, polyphenols, and tannins, which interact with enzymatic pathways and biochemical networks. These compounds support oxidative processes, microbial dynamics, and cellular signaling mechanisms. Their phytochemical complexity contributes to molecular exchanges involved in metabolic balance. Long incorporated into botanical traditions, black walnut remains a distinctive component of plant-based nutrition and natural food sources.
