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 light appearance/texture. It is considered a premium variety for baking and fresh eating. The grade "light" is considered the best walnut meat quality designation by most consumers and bulk buyers.
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.
