Why should you eat roasted walnuts? Here's the answer in a nutshell (LOL!): It can lower your bad cholesterol (I guess there wasn't much suspense there given the blog post title, but whatev).
To gain the benefit, you need to eat at least an ounce of walnuts a day. That amounts to about 14 halves or 1/4 cup.
Hoping for a little more excitement than eating a handful? Keep a jar of roasted walnuts right on your counter and have them ready as one of your "add it to anything and look like a chef" ingredients. Try these quick, easy, and painless suggestions:
