Walnuts ~ Natural

California-Grown, Natural Walnuts Orchard Gold's California-Grown, shelled, Natural Walnuts are the freshest and largest available, light in color and mostly halves, grown in the heart of California's San Joaquin Valley. California is the second largest producer of walnuts in the world, second only to China, providing 99% of the commercial walnuts sold in the United States. Our California-Grown Walnuts have a delicately sweet flavor with highest concentration of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) - the plant-based Omega-3 essential fatty acid required by the human body — five times the amount of any other nut providing 2.5 grams per ounce. In addition, they are a significant source of protein, fiber, magnesium, phosphorous and antioxidants, specifically polyphenols, which are 15 times more potent than those found in any other source, like Vitamin E, contain nearly 70 units per ounce. Orchard Gold Walnuts make a great healthy snack or gift and are perfect for cooking and baking. Keep frozen or refrigerated in an airtight container to maintain maximum quality and freshness. They are available in hand-packed, hand-sorted, 12-oz rounds (2 or 3 per box), 5-lbs bulk bag/box and case (12 x 12-oz rounds) quantities.
