California Walnut Commission hosts walnut festival in Chandigarh

California Walnut Commission, in association with Peddlers, Uncle Jack's and Sindhi Sweets is hosting the city's first ever walnut festival, which will take place at The Peddlers Elante starting November 6

The festival will serve and present Indo-Western fusion delicacies with California Walnuts like Walnut Kebab, Walnut and Cheese Cigar, Walnut Fries, Baked Honey Walnut and Walnut Delight to name a few.

"The idea is to highlight the usage and versatility of walnuts in the tricity and showcase them a 'go-to' nut for cooking and snacking, befitting any meal or occasion. Not only are they heart-healthy, but also the only nut with a significant amount of plant-based omega-3 making suitable for vegetarians. We hope our esteemed guests will enjoy this delicious and healthy treat we have in store for them and will make walnuts a part of their daily diet plans," said Pamela Graviet, senior marketing director, International at California Walnut Board and Commission.

"Walnuts offer great taste and texture that holds up to a variety of flavour pairings. They can be served raw, toasted, candied, spiced and incorporated into a variety of recipes. Considering the city's growing demand for healthy snacking and finger food options, walnuts are the ideal choice to include in our menu; they are not only healthy but are also a wonderfully versatile ingredient to work with," added Vipul Dua, CEO, Peddlers.
