During summer, when we used to go to grandma’s house for vacations, we used to walk in the afternoon, our grandmother showing us the walnut trees with their branches loaded with fresh nuts. Today, we choose to consume a handful of nuts every day, because we know they help our health in so many different ways, but also because they are simply delicious.
