Walnuts provide exceptional anti-inflammatory benefits through their superior omega-3 to omega-6 ratio and high polyphenol content.
Omega-3 ALA
-1.2
Contains the highest omega-3 alpha-linolenic acid content of any nut, directly reducing inflammatory markers.
Polyphenols
-0.7
Rich in ellagitannins and other polyphenols that combat oxidative stress and lower C-reactive protein levels.
Vitamin E
-0.3
Provides antioxidant protection that supports cellular defense against inflammation.
Magnesium
+0.2
Beneficial mineral content, though omega-6 fatty acids present require balance with other dietary fats.
This score is ingredient-based and weighted by DII-inspired evidence. Foods with added sugar, refined starches, and heavy processing trend higher; foods with fiber, omega-3, and polyphenols trend lower.
High in oligosaccharides and may trigger symptoms in sensitive individuals, consume in small portions of 10 nuts or less.
