HEALTH & BENEFITS

Walnuts contain healthy fats, fiber, vitamins, and minerals that have been linked to reducing the risk of heart disease, brain health, and cancer. Saffron, on the other hand, has antioxidant properties that may help protect cells from damage caused by free radicals and improve mood and appetite control.
