GOOD TO KNOW

The whole story
behind walnuts, glazed

Nutrition is rarely simply “good” or “bad”. Here is the balanced picture to help you decide what fits your diet.

THE UPSIDE

Why it can be a great choice

Provides 8.28 g protein and 3.6 g fibre per 100 g.
Provides 25.0 g polyunsaturated and 5.36 g monounsaturated fatty acids per 100 g in the USDA profile.
Provides 232 mg potassium, 71 mg calcium and 1.29 mg iron per 100 g.
A measured amount can add walnut texture and sweetness together in desserts, salads and baked recipes.

THE DOWNSIDE

What to keep in mind

Contains 32.1 g total sugars per 100 g; USDA does not report how much is added sugar.
Contains 446 mg sodium, equivalent to about 1.115 g salt per 100 g.
Contains 500 kcal and 35.7 g fat per 100 g, so the glazed coating does not make this a low-calorie food.
USDA does not report vitamin E, vitamin K, vitamin B6, folate, magnesium, phosphorus or selenium for this reference, so those fields cannot be treated as measured zero values.
Walnut is a major tree-nut allergen and can cause severe reactions; glaze ingredients and cross-contact must also be checked on the package.
Whole nuts and nut pieces are choking hazards for young children; follow age-appropriate preparation guidance.
Sweeteners, oils, salt and other glaze ingredients vary between products; use the current package ingredient list and nutrition label.
