Walnuts

Description

Shelled Walnuts

Shelled walnuts are the most convenient form of walnuts, offering the consumer ready-to-eat nuts that can be incorporated into a variety of dishes without additional preparation. The shells are removed, leaving only the walnut kernels, which are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, and protein. Shelled walnuts are commonly used in baking, snacking, and as a topping for salads or yogurt.

Unshelled Walnuts

Unshelled walnuts come in their natural, intact form with the hard shell still encasing the nut. This variety is prized for its longer shelf life and ability to retain its freshness and flavor longer than shelled walnuts. Though more labor-intensive to open, unshelled walnuts are a preferred choice for those seeking to preserve the natural form of the nut and for those who enjoy cracking them fresh.
