Summary:
Black walnuts (Juglans nigra) are a type of tree nut said to offer several health benefits, including improved cardiovascular health measures. These nuts contain tannins, a class of substances with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. They’re also high in unsaturated fat and protein. Though research does not support the use of black walnut in preventing or treating health conditions, black walnut extract has long been used in herbal medicine. Some recommend the supplement form to help treat certain illnesses, including infections.
Black walnuts are common in the United States, though not as common as English walnuts. Both may be found in grocery stores and in the bulk bins at natural-food stores.(Verywell Health)
