Organic Walnuts (Shelled)

Harvested from the lush Sacramento valleys of California, our Certified Organic English Walnuts are bursting with rich, buttery flavor. These premium walnuts are more than just a delicious snack—they’re a powerhouse of nutrition, offering omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, protein, and antioxidants to support your health and well-being.

Whether you enjoy them raw by the handful, sprinkle them onto salads or cereals, or incorporate them into your favorite baked goods, these versatile nuts are a must-have for any pantry.

Nutritional Information

Walnuts are among the most nutrient-dense nuts, packed with key vitamins, minerals, and healthy fats:

• Omega-3 Fatty Acids: 94% of your daily recommended intake per ¼ cup—more than any other nut.
• Manganese: 45% DV, essential for bone health and metabolism.
• Copper: 20% DV, supports energy production and cardiovascular health.

A single ¼ cup serving also contains:

• Protein: 5g
• Fiber: 3g
• Healthy Fats: 20g

Though calorie-dense, walnuts can aid in weight management by promoting fullness and reducing overeating. They are also the second most antioxidant-rich nut, with high levels of gamma-tocopherol (a heart-healthy form of vitamin E) and phenolic compounds that protect against oxidative stress.

Health Benefits

Backed by extensive research, walnuts are linked to numerous health benefits:

• Cardiovascular Health: Omega-3s and gamma-tocopherol help lower LDL cholesterol and reduce the risk of heart disease.
• Anti-Cancer Properties: Antioxidants and phenols may help prevent certain cancers.
• Brain Function: Omega-3 fatty acids support cognitive function and may reduce the risk of neurodegenerative diseases.
• Bone Health: Rich in manganese and copper, which are essential for maintaining strong bones.
• Weight Management: High in fiber, protein, and healthy fats, walnuts help curb hunger and promote satiety.

Experts recommend consuming about 30g (14 walnut halves) daily to maximize these benefits.

Types of Walnuts

There are several varieties of walnuts, each with unique characteristics:

• English Walnuts: The most commonly consumed variety, prized for their mild, nutty flavor.
• Black Walnuts: Known for their robust, earthy taste and thicker shells.
• White Walnuts (Butternuts): Rare and slightly sweeter, with a lighter flavor profile.

While nutritional profiles may vary slightly, all walnut varieties offer similar health benefits. California leads the world in English walnut production, cultivating nearly 40% of the global supply.

Why Choose Organic?

Conventional walnut farming often involves heavy pesticide use, which can impact both health and the environment. By choosing Certified Organic English Walnuts, you’re opting for a cleaner, pesticide-free product while supporting sustainable farming practices that are better for the planet.

Storage Tips for Maximum Freshness

Walnuts are high in polyunsaturated fats, which can spoil if not stored properly:

• Room Temperature: Store in an airtight container away from light, heat, and humidity for up to 1 month.
• Refrigeration: Extend freshness to 6 months.
• Freezing: Keeps walnuts fresh for up to 12 months.
• In Shell: Walnuts in their shell have an even longer shelf life.

How to Enjoy 

Walnuts are a versatile ingredient with countless culinary uses:

• Snacks: Enjoy them raw or lightly toasted for a satisfying snack.
• Baking: Add them to muffins, brownies, cookies, or granola bars.
• Salads: Sprinkle chopped walnuts onto leafy greens for added crunch and nutrients.
• Breakfast: Mix into oatmeal, yogurt, or smoothie bowls.
• Sauces & Dips: Blend into pesto, walnut butter, or creamy vegan sauces.

Pro Tip: For maximum health benefits, eat walnuts with their brown skin intact, as it contains 90% of their phenolic antioxidants.
