Y U SO SEX-AY?
Walnuts contain the amino acid arginine, which is known to be helpful in numerous ways, among them, improving "athletic performance." (Nudge, nudge. Wink, wink.) (OK, so as a natural Viagra, it's not exactly a libido starter, but damn; W's a hard letter, y'all!)
Don't overdo it with the walnuts, though; too much arginine in your system can be problematic for some folks.

ReplyDeleteI have a co-worker who bakes all the time and puts walnuts in everything. And I do mean everything. Now I suddenly understand why...
A-ha! :-)
DeleteYay! Finally an aphrodisiac I can get behind. I love walnuts (almonds and cashews, too). There are few things yummier than chocolate brownies with walnuts. I"m salivating just thinking of them!
ReplyDeleteGreat post! :-)
Dang, now I'm dying for brownies...
DeleteWalnuts are one of the few nuts I can eat w/o needing to go to the hospital but I don't make a habit of eating them much. And I don't want him eating them too much either, just in case.
ReplyDeleteThat's interesting. I wonder what makes walnuts more tolerable for you...
DeleteAs a matter of fact, I'm having a walnut topper on my salad for lunch at my day job today. Maybe the lady in the cube next to me might enjoy a drink and conversation after work?
ReplyDelete::crosses fingers for you::
DeleteMina, the food porn picture of the walnut is luscious. I eat a walnut, hazelnut, almond mix once a day. Supposed to ensure I live forever. Ha! Thanks for more great recipes and fun facts. I think you could turn this blog series into a book. Think about it! I'd buy it to have the recipes and info all together!
ReplyDeleteLOL, "food porn." I reckon if the recipes were mine that *would* be a grand idea. :-D
DeleteInteresting. And I'd never really looked closely at the interior of a walnut before, but those shapes look a bit like people, getting up to... you know, all sorts. :)
ReplyDeleteHmmm...hadn't initially thought of that (surprisingly) but now that you mention it, there do seem to be hints of orgiastic fun going on in the pic...
DeleteWalnuts are a very sexy desert topping. Thanks for today's excuse to eat!

"Walnuts...a very sexy dessert topping" should be the new campaign slogan for the things, don't you think? :-)
DeleteOMG, hands down the best A to Z topic imaginable! I'll catch up later.
ReplyDeleteLOL, thanks Tonja. Hope you dig the rest. :-)
DeleteI just love some walnuts. Grind em' up and slap em' on my cone. Ice cream cone!
ReplyDeleteI reckon you can get walnuts at "Wal-Mart" :)
Right, I is outta' hea....
Probably, but I never shop at Wal-Mart, if I can avoid it. (Which I totally can, so I don't.) :-)
DeleteMmmm...Carrot cake. Mmm...carrot cake. And fig rools and spiced rum and vanilla latte. I shall be kickin' it!
ReplyDeleteI know, it's enough to make a person ravenous!
DeleteWalnuts seem like the most unsexy thing, but then, as I stare at them long enough, they do resemble something.
ReplyDeleteI know, me too!
DeleteYa know, I put walnuts in pesto too...I detect a theme here *pesto is best date night dinner ever*
ReplyDeleteHah, I think you may be right! :-)
