Walnuts nutsH

Glazed walnuts are a popular snack made by coating walnut halves with a sugary glaze, often caramelized or candied to add sweetness and crunch. Originating as a festive treat, they are commonly enjoyed on their own or added to desserts and salads. The glazing process increases the carbohydrate and sugar content significantly compared to raw walnuts, contributing to their sweet taste. These nuts provide dietary sodium mainly from added salt during glazing.

They are vegan and add variety to nut-based snacks but should be consumed mindful of their higher sugar and salt content.
