Walnut is king if you're nuts about good health

SCIENTISTS believe they have cracked it when it comes to heart-healthy nutty superfoods.

New research reveals that walnuts are packed with more potent and abundant antioxidants than any other popular nut, as well as healthy fibre, protein, vitamins and minerals.

Tree and ground nuts are generally said to be among nature's most perfect ready-made foods.

As well as having all the nutritious elements necessary for a healthy diet, they also contain high levels of protective antioxidants which counter the effects of harmful molecules.
