• Walnut Burfi (Akhrot Laddu)
• CashewWalnut Laddu (Kaju-Akhrot Burfi)
• Honey Whole Wheat Bread
• Walnut-Coconut Caramel Toffee
In Asia, the most popular walnut species is the Persian walnut,
which produces delicious nuts. Walnuts are also used in cardiovascular
medicine to reduce fats damage produced to the heart by unhealthy
food. In kitchen, Persian walnuts are often substituted by black
walnuts or butternut walnuts, both native to North America.
