I never have seen wallnuts with three compartments.

Nunca he visto nueces con tres compartimentos.

ENGLISH
The walnut was introduced into western and northern Europe very early, by Roman times or earlier, and to the Americas by the 17th century, by English colonists. Important nut-growing regions include France, Serbia, Greece, Bulgaria, and Romania in Europe, China in Asia, California in North America, and Chile in South America. Lately the crop has spread to another regions: New Zealand and southeast of Australia. It is cultivated extensively for its high-quality nuts, eaten both fresh and pressed for their richly flavoured oil; numerous cultivars have been selected for larger nuts with thinner shells.

The walnut marketing industry has issued a press release interpreting a 2006 study published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology to mean that eating walnuts after a meal high in saturated fats can reduce the damaging effects of such fats on blood vessels. Researchers from Barcelona’s Hospital Clinic conducted a study on 24 adult participants, half of whom had normal cholesterol levels, and half of whom had moderately high levels of cholesterol. Each group was fed two high-fat meals of salami and cheese, eaten one week apart. During one meal, the researchers supplemented the food with five teaspoons of olive oil; the researchers added 40 g shelled walnuts to the other meal.

Tests after each meal showed that neither the olive oil nor the walnuts had any effect on inflammatory substances or lipid oxidation in the blood samples taken after the meals. However, the participants with moderately high cholesterol levels exhibited increased arterial wall movement after the meal containing walnuts and decreased movement after the meal containing olive oil. The participants who had normal cholesterol levels showed a much smaller effect on arterial movement.

CASTELLANO
La nuez es un fruto seco obtenido como semilla del nogal común. De alto valor nutritivo, este fruto es rico en proteínas, vitaminas del grupo B, oligoelementos, aceites, lecitina y ácidos grasos omega 3 (poliinsaturados). Se le atribuye la capacidad de reducir el colesterol.

Se consume fresco o cocinado, así como en postres.

Las nueces, al contrario de lo que parece, no entran dentro de lo que en botánica se considera como núcula sino que al estar rodeado de una envoltura carnosa y otra capa interior dura se la considera una drupa.

Antiguamente se consideraba que comer nueces fomentaba la inteligencia por la similitud en su forma con el cerebro humano.

Actualmente, debido no a su forma, sino a sus valores nutricionales, se ha demostrado que así es.
