The black walnut (<\/span>Juglans netropica<\/span><\/i>) is known all over the world for the benefits of its wood. For this reason, it is felled indiscriminately, which has led to it being classified as an endangered species (EN) by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). In fact,\u00a0 \u00ab52% of its populations are overexploited for timber \u00bb(Esa\u00fa Toro Vanegas, Isabel Cristina Rold\u00e1n Rojas<\/a>).<\/span><\/p>\n

Envol Vert, through its \u00ab Cocoa – Agroforestry Coffee in the Peruvian Amazon \u00bb programme, has set up the development of the \u2018Black Walnut\u2019 economic alternative. The aim is to preserve this species and the forests in which it is found, by exploiting and marketing this nut. Why did we choose the nut?<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/i><\/div>The nutritional benefits of consuming black walnut<\/h4><\/div>

Consuming black walnut is excellent for the health. It has the advantage of being made up of 57% unsaturated fatty acids, including linoleic acid (39g\/100mg) and linolenic acid (8g\/100g), as well as 18% protein and 11 mg\/100g iron. It is therefore high in omega 3 (linolenic acid) and 6 (linoleic acid).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Compared with other seeds, the black walnut has high nutritional values in terms of iron, omega 3 and omega 6.<\/span><\/p>\n
