Greek Sweet Fruit Preserve in Syrup, Walnut, Net weight 950gr :

Walnut is of the finest spoon sweets. Closely connected with the memories of our childhood, where walnut trees dominated in every house’s courtyard in Greece and the abundance of fruit lead our grandmothers and our mothers, to offer it to us in its most delicious form. 

Sweet walnut is being made during spring when walnuts are still tender. We have to cut the walnuts from mid-May to early June, before they get ripen and their external part starts to get harden and later become walnut’s shell.

Walnuts, as nuts, despite the amount of calories contained (a handful of walnuts, about 30 gr., contains 196 calories), have been proven to have very high nutritional value, as many surveys have shown. It is rich in fibre (2 g. / 30 g.), minerals (magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, copper) and vitamins (B6, E). In fact, a handful of walnuts contains Vitamin C as much as half a cup of olive oil. Finally, it doesn’t have cholesterol, it is rich in sterols, also contains high amounts of monounsaturated (2.6 g. / 30 gr.) and polyunsaturated omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids (14 g. / 30 gr.) a fact that makes them rich in antioxidants. They add value to the Mediterranean diet which offers so much to our health.

The recipe for sweet walnut is based on the love and affection of the inhabitants of the Chios Island, who generously offer to everyone the benefits of this nutrient and delicious fruit with its great taste and unique flavours.

Our traditional Greek spoon sweets walnut that we recommend, will become the most cherished choice for you and your beloved.
