I just love walnuts.  One of the wonderful things about them is that in food preparation they add extra nutrition, flavor and crunch to a meal

Benefits of Walnuts:

Omega-3 fatty acids, thought to reduce risk of cancer (a 1/4 cup provides 90.8% of the daily value for these essential fats)

Protein

Essential vitamins, minerals 

Antioxidants, yet are have not trans fats or cholesterol.

Walnuts, pecans and chestnuts have the highest antioxidant content of the tree nuts, with walnuts delivering more than 20 mmol antioxidants per 3 ounces (100 grams).

I'd do the same with almonds, but it is so hard to find them raw. Do you have any tips on sources? I would be happy to buy them in bulk, but don't want to pay crazy prices per lb.
