Products Details
Walnuts – Raw, Halves & Pieces
Walnuts are nutrient-dense tree nuts known for their rich flavor, crunchy texture, and numerous health benefits. Available in various forms, raw walnuts in halves and pieces are especially popular for culinary uses, snacking, and baking.
Raw Walnuts are simply shelled nuts that have not been roasted or salted, preserving their natural taste and maximum nutrient content. This makes them a wholesome choice for those seeking unprocessed, clean foods.
Halves refer to walnut kernels that are intact or split into two larger pieces, offering a visually appealing and satisfying bite. They are often used in salads, desserts, and garnishes where presentation matters.
Pieces are smaller broken fragments of the walnut kernel. These are ideal for baking applications like breads, cookies, and muffins, or as crunchy toppings on oatmeal and yogurt.
Nutritional Profile: Raw walnuts are rich in healthy fats, particularly omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, protein, fiber, vitamins (such as vitamin E and B-complex), and minerals (like magnesium and phosphorus). They support heart health, brain function, and provide anti-inflammatory benefits.
Culinary Uses: Due to their mild, slightly bitter flavor and buttery texture, raw walnut halves and pieces are versatile. They enhance both sweet and savory dishes, from baked goods and granola to pesto and roasted vegetables.
Storage: To maintain freshness and prevent rancidity, raw walnuts should be stored in a cool, dry place, ideally refrigerated or frozen in airtight containers.

The roasted macadamias are to die for! They're clearly a premium product, not like the dry, stale ones you sometimes find. Worth every cent. Will definitely be ordering again.
