if you like walnuts

and if you don't, you might want to give them another try!

hmmmm guess I'll be getting walnuts tomorrow when I grocery shop

For really good salted roasted walnuts, soak in a brine of 14 cup kosher salr in a quart of warm water for about six hours, then bake on low, 225 degrees, for about two hours, stirring or shaking pan a time or two. Really nice and crunchy, and only mildly salty.

LaughingGull, directly into the oven. They are very crispy/crunchy done this way. Put them on parchment paper on the baking sheet

MelissaDallas, so you're saying 14 cups kosher salt in 1 qt of warm water?

I love them chewy. I just soak them in water and eat them. Munch on these all day right out of my desk drawer. Heard about this from Dr Oz. He is not my favourite but I like soggy, chewy walnuts. Lo

HaHa TB90! Would you love him even more if you knew he also liked a shot of whiskey every night before bed and lived to the ripe old age of 97? His brother outlasted him though, lived to 102. Must have been the cabbage because they both smoked like fiends. Maybe I should start a thread on "Lester's longevity tips"

I did read somewhere that you should soak the walnuts for some reason. Don't believe Gramps ever did though.

Glad to hear of this study, especially since I love raw walnuts. I usually eat them everyday. I was on a diet last month and cut them out but after two weeks started to get nervous that while I was losing weight I might be screwing up my cancer treatment. Glad to know I wasn't crazy. So walnuts it is. I read another study that showed people with exceptional longevity eat three portions of nuts a day.
