One of the most extraordinary nut desserts, walnut jam, reveals the beneficial properties of this product from a new, surprising side. Being a storehouse of useful substances and qualities, this delicacy should be included in the diet, if not for medicinal purposes, then at least for the prevention and maintenance of excellent health.

What explains the benefits of walnut jam

The fruits of a walnut (also called voloshsky, royal, Greek) at the stage of milk ripeness do not at all look like mature ones - the peel has not yet had time to harden and is juicy and tender, and the oily and crunchy nucleolus in the future resembles a gelatinous mass, and in fact, at an early ripening stage, the walnut is a completely unique product in terms of taste and positive qualities.

Eat them:

In the form of pickled (excellent seasoning for meat and cheeses);

In the form of a jam (in it, the walnut skin darkens almost to blackness, and if you cook peeled nuts from the green peel, then you get a light jam, but its benefits will not be so bright).

The processes of formation of the chemical composition of the nut during the period of immaturity are in full swing and all vitamins (and these are many from group B, as well as K, F, A and C) and minerals are distinguished by high bioavailability and proportional compatibility, which enhances the effectiveness of each of the elements.

Therefore, it is recommended to treat yourself to jam from green walnuts for the prevention (and treatment) of vitamin deficiencies, strengthening the immune system and improving overall health.

And Iodine deserves a separate mention - walnuts in this regard are no worse than fish and can even replace seafood in the diet (the main suppliers of this substance) if they cause allergies. Or maybe just very unpleasant in taste.

In addition to ensuring the functioning of the thyroid gland (in particular, it protects a person from pathogenic microflora), iodine is also invaluable for vitality.

We also note that a high concentration of iodine is observed only in the green nut peel, that is, from ripe nuts, when it hardens, it will not be possible to extract iodine (and also its concentration decreases as it ripens).

The complex of biologically active substances (including essential oils, flavonoids, organic acids) in the composition of green walnuts helps to restore, normalize metabolism, especially in cases where it has been disturbed by unbalanced, depleting diets or improper intake of medicines.

The high concentration of vitamin E, combined with other antioxidant substances, endows green walnut jam with benefits for:

Rapid cleansing of the body from toxins and toxins;

Prevention of premature aging (which is reflected not only externally, for example, the skin fades, but also internally, for example, diseases of the musculoskeletal system develop).

The energy value of walnut jam is about 248 kcal per 100 g, but since it is recommended to eat it a little for optimal absorption and the greatest benefit, in fact, this indicator does not pose a threat to a slim figure.

What you eat it with is a matter of taste, but scientists have proven that this nut jam will be more beneficial if you drink it with green tea.

Also, this jam can be used for making desserts and sweet pies.

Jam from green walnuts is very useful for the nervous system - due to glycosides and tannins, plus it is sweet with sugar, so it is quite possible to fill a saucer with it, count on improving mood and supporting brain activity with a surge of energy (as well as increasing concentration , improving memory and perception of new information).

When will there be special benefit from walnut jam

It is known that walnuts are good for the cardiovascular system, but the benefits of green fruits in this regard are more pronounced and they, in particular:

Increase the strength and elasticity of blood vessels;

Cleans blood vessels from cholesterol;

Improves blood circulation;

Normalize blood pressure;

They prevent a number of dangerous diseases, including varicose veins.

Nuts also support the functioning of the kidneys and the entire urinary system, preventing the retention of excess fluid in the body and, in addition, preventing disturbances in water-salt metabolism.

Several servings of walnut jam are ways to restore the functioning of the intestines affected by diarrhea (especially if it was provoked by poor-quality food).

Walnuts are not only green, but in general in any form, nutritionists like to advise for the prevention and treatment of anemia, getting rid of the feeling of chronic fatigue and frequent dizziness, lightheadedness.

How else is the benefits of walnut jam manifested?

It is recommended to include green walnut jam in the diet when living in areas that are unfavorable in terms of ecology, and we can even say that it can effectively protect against radiation, both solar and that that comes from sources created by man.

And even though sweets are generally not good for teeth, green walnuts and in the form of jam can improve the condition of the gums (including reducing their bleeding) and, as a bactericidal agent, destroy the causative agents of tooth decay.

Also, the use of walnut jam contributes to:

Building muscle mass and reducing body pain during physical (sports) stress;

Improving cerebral circulation;

Wound healing and tissue regeneration in general;

Normalization of the adrenal glands (secreting hormones, in particular those that are important for fat and carbohydrate metabolism, as well as adrenaline, which supports the body in extreme situations, and this is not only about physical condition, but also about psycho-emotional stress);

Strengthening bone tissue (including teeth);

Adaptation of the body to the cold (which is especially invaluable in frosty winters and the off-season, threatening hypothermia and, as a consequence, colds);

Better sleep.

Can there be harm from walnut jam

According to nutritionists, the positive effect of the delicacy significantly exceeds the theoretical harm of walnut jam, which, moreover, is practically excluded, provided that it is consumed in moderation - just a couple of tablespoons a day.

And you should definitely take into account that nuts, even green ones, are highly allergenic products and, in particular, they should not be carried away by children under 12 years old and women during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

But in general, for women expecting a baby, such nuts, when used wisely, are useful, especially if the expectant mother is diagnosed with a lack of iodine in the body.

Despite the fact that, in order to avoid harm, walnut jam according to classical recipes is contraindicated in diabetes mellitus, it is not necessary to give it up - you just need to cook it with a sweetener suitable for the individual case.

Walnut jam is a fairly popular product in places where the tree itself grows. It is appreciated by many gourmets and enjoys wide popularity due to its characteristic taste and useful properties. To enjoy the dessert, you do not have to purchase such a jam in the store; you can make it at home if you have all the ingredients necessary for this on hand.

Green walnut jam: recipe

First of all, it should be borne in mind that only young nuts are used for making jam, which are still green and have only reached milk ripeness. They have a soft shell. The very process of harvesting fruits for direct preparation has some subtleties. This is due to the peculiar bitterness of the raw material. To get rid of the unpleasant taste, still unripe nuts are placed in cold water and left soaked for about two days. Before that, they are cleaned of the green crust.

Do not forget to wear gloves while chopping green nuts. Due to the high concentration of iodine in their composition, the skin of the fingers will turn dark very quickly.

Throughout the soaking period, the water should be changed regularly - at least three times a day. Then the water must be drained, and the nuts must be poured with a lime solution. To prepare it, use cold water and slaked lime. Leave the nuts in the resulting solution for at least four hours. Then strain them so that the bitter taste of the raw materials can be eliminated. At the final stage, rinse the nuts thoroughly under running water.

Jam made from walnuts has another nuance - after all the manipulations done, the nuts need to be pierced with a fork in several places, and then placed back in cold water, but for two days. Then the syrup itself is prepared, in which the nuts will be cooked. For its preparation, ordinary sugar and water are used, you can add cinnamon or cloves if desired.

Let's consider the ratio of proportions in more detail:

• 40 pcs. unripe nuts;
• 3 cups of sugar;
• 1.75 liters of water for soaking and one glass already for making syrup;
• 1 tsp citric acid - added, if desired, to water for harvesting nuts;
• cloves, cinnamon - taste.

When the syrup is ready, boil the nuts in it for about ten minutes and leave in this state for about a day. This way they can get saturated with sugar and taste good. Further, the cooking process must be continued. Half an hour is enough for this, but a more accurate sign that the nuts are already ready will be their black shine. Do not forget to throw a bag of ground spices into the water while cooking. This will give the jam a more pleasant aftertaste. Then it should be poured into the jars while still hot.

If you want green walnut jam to acquire an unusual taste, you can deviate a little from the classic recipe. So, some say that jam gets a pleasant aftertaste if you add vanillin along with the usual spices to it.

As for cooking utensils, it is highly discouraged to use copper or aluminum products for this purpose. These materials, when exposed to heating, begin to break down, which will lead to the fact that metal particles get into the jam. The best option is to use enamelled containers, as well as stainless steel. Before proceeding directly to cooking, all dishes and lids should be washed. For this, water is used with the addition of baking soda. Then scald the containers with boiling water and dry thoroughly.

The benefits and harms of walnut jam

Everyone knows that walnuts have a number of useful properties. But many are wondering if there is still a benefit in jam, which is made from walnuts. Even after long boiling, still unripe nuts retain all the medicinal qualities. That is why it is recommended to prepare such jam not only for culinary reasons. It contains many valuable substances, but the most important of them is iodine.

In general, the benefits of such jam are relevant and, if necessary, increase immunity. It is often used if there are problems with the thyroid gland. Also, walnuts, even boiled, are useful for the vessels of the brain. The product can be used by women who are carrying a fetus. This is a healthy treat for children and people with unstable blood pressure. For strenuous mental work, jam made from aromatic green nuts will also help.

But there is also a downside to the benefits - you should not get too carried away with these products, especially people who are overweight, since walnuts are high in calories.

Reviews:

Mom told me that when I was still little, this recipe saved me from chronic bronchitis. For me, nut jam is like the taste of childhood. Unfortunately, we have no recipe left, grandmother died, taking it with her. We have tried many different variations, it turns out delicious, but still not the same. Anyway, we recommend everyone to try this delicious delicacy.

I hope my review will be useful for the hostesses! Last year we decided to make jam for the first time without the use of lime mortar and missed. We got a mushy plum, the cooking time lasted for three weeks. Maybe we didn't succeed, but I still recommend everyone to cook jam with lime. The taste resembles an unusual, but at the same time very tasty chocolate candy.

Alina, 26 years old

I cannot express in words how much I love this jam, I always associate it with my childhood. I used to live in the Caucasus and we cooked it with my whole family. I would like to say that this jam is quite original, and most importantly tasty and healthy. Oh, and how the fingers are painted with iodine!))) We were not smart enough to use gloves, thanks for the advice of the professionals. But the yummy is still 100% worth it.

I live in Azerbaijan and we love this jam very much, but due to the large amount of time spent, not everyone undertakes to cook it. As for me, I prefer the recipe without lime, albeit more work, but my family loves it more. The taste is reminiscent of chocolates. I recommend everyone to try this jam at least once in their life.
