CNN Central News & Network-ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: In the world of baking, cakes and cookies are among the most popular choices, but California walnuts can also be used to prepare many new and flavourful dishes. With their distinctive taste, crunch and nutrients, walnuts can add a special touch to both sweet and savoury baked foods. Adding them to traditional recipes can change the flavour and texture of familiar dishes.
1. Prepare nutritious bread with walnuts Homemade bread can be made crunchier and more flavourful by adding chopped walnuts. Walnuts can be mixed into the dough to prepare multigrain bread or banana bread. Their mild nutty flavour gives bread a distinct identity. It can be served at breakfast with fruit, curd or other preferred foods.
2. Make crunchy muffins with walnuts Adding small pieces of walnuts to chocolate, banana or blueberry muffins is a creative way to bake. After baking, walnuts give muffins a crunchy texture and pair well with the flavours of chocolate or fruit. For better taste, walnuts can be lightly roasted, cooled and then added to the batter.
3. Use walnuts in savoury baked snacks Walnuts are not limited to sweet dishes. They can be combined with cheese, herbs and whole grains to prepare savoury crackers, baked bites or savoury bread. These snacks can be served with tea or when one feels slightly hungry.
A combination of taste and nutrition California walnuts contain alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) in the form of omega-3 fatty acids, along with fibre and protein. Including them in a balanced diet can be useful from a nutritional point of view. When using walnuts in baking, it is better to keep the quantity in mind and choose fresh walnuts. In this way, walnuts can help bring new experiments to everyday baking and give familiar dishes a new taste.
