1lb Harvest Fresh Walnuts | Light Halves and Pieces

This Particular Walnut Product

1lb of Premium Chandler Halves and Pieces. These are top grade California walnuts fresh from Fall 2022 Harvest. They are packed in a direct to consumer re-sealable heat sealed bag (like the kind typically sold in grocery stores).

Walnut Quality Notes

These walnuts are expected to be at 80+% USDA light grade (premium grade) on average, with at least 95% of the meats being light or light amber. This is a much more premium quality that what is typically available in standard consumer packaged products in the stores. The size of pieces is expected to be a minimum of 20% halves with a target of 70% being pieces between 1 and 1/2 inch screen size and less than 5% being pieces smaller than 1/8 inch screen size. These larger pieces promote better storage potential due to less oxidation opportunities. In terms of color and size, this product is well suited to being used in any cooking, baking, or fresh eating application. It would be similar in size and color to a premium bagged walnut product you might find in an upper scale grocery/supply store.

About Chandler Walnuts and The Designation "Light"

The Chandler variety is noted for its popular, mild flavor and excellent appearance/texture. It is considered a premium variety for baking and fresh eating. The DFA grade "light" is considered the best walnut meat quality designation, which is why we specifically sell Chandler light halves and pieces.

Bulk Walnut Storage

For long term consumer storage, walnuts should be refrigerated at 30-40 degrees Fahrenheit (normal consumer fridge temperature) and protected from light to preserve maximum product quality throughout the year.
