If you take a close look at this knobby nut (as in the above photo), you’ll see that it closely resembles the cerebral cortex of the brain! Mother Nature works in mysterious ways, given that this nut is well-known for contributing to brain health. Walnuts date to as far back as 7000 B.C., and were called Juglans regia (“Jupiter’s royal acorn”) by the Ancient Romans. There are two main varieties of walnuts: The Persian (or English) walnut, which originated in Persia, and the black walnut, which is native to United States. However, the black walnut is not commercially produced, which means that most walnuts you buy in the store will be Persian walnuts. Walnuts are an excellent source of antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids, which assist in the creation of new neurons in the brain, and also may work as a mood booster. They also improve cardiovascular health and help cleanse the digestive system due to their high fiber content.

Drinking is different at Christmas. A little more plentiful, yes, but also a tad sweeter. In our house, bottles come out at this time of year that would normally never see the light of day.

As a tree nut, its nutritional value is similar to other nuts, like almonds or walnuts. Food technologists have experimented by making cottonseed milk, crackers, cookies, nut butters and chopped-nut substitutes, Hake said.

Thumbprint cookies are cute, but they’re also usually a lot of white flour, sugar, and shortening.

It’s even somewhat acceptable to eat the entire seven-cookie batch at once.

Alternative medicine has revealed that ginger, honey, and hibiscus flower essence, when combined, is an old folk remedy that’s been handed down from generation to generations.

“For instance, all oatmeal that is consumed by humans has gone through a process to remove that hull,” he adds. “It’s an expensive process that is largely ‘secretive,’ and there is a big learning curve to the art of doing it correctly.”

Before I tell you what happened to me the weekend following the sunflower seed incident, let’s talk a little about these nifty little creations. Sunflower seeds are the fruit from — surprise! — sunflowers. The outside shell of the sunflower seed is actually referred to as the hull. When the hull is left intact, the seeds are called in-shell sunflower seeds. When the hull is removed, the seeds themselves are called kernels. The former is usually found in the grocery aisle next to the nuts, while the latter is usually found next to the other seeds used as spices or toppings, such as poppy seeds or sesame seeds.

The seedless melons sure are easier to eat and cut up for fruit salads. But they somehow don’t taste the way they did when seed-spitting contests were the highlights of our summers.
