Crunchy, Flavorful Black Walnuts

When you want an intense nutty flavor paired with an amazingly satisfying crunch, few things compare to our big, rich black walnuts. These nuts arrive shelled and in chunky pieces that make one of the most decadent ice cream toppings. Our customers also love to eat these walnuts in salads, as an ingredient in baked goods or just by the raw handful.

If you want to add the luxurious flavor of these nuts to your favorite recipes that call for ordinary English walnuts, do so carefully. Black walnuts are much more potent, so it's best to either reduce the amount of nuts called for in the recipe or use a mixture of both walnut varieties.

Hand-Harvested, Shelled Black Walnuts

Getting these nuts to customers is truly a labor of love, as nearly every step in the cultivation, harvesting, hulling and final preparation of shelled black walnuts is still done by hand. The nuts fall naturally from the trees in late autumn, where they must be harvested directly from the forest floor. The green, messy hulls are then removed, the nuts are dried, the extra-tough nutshells are cracked and, finally, these delicacies can be plucked out.

When we buy black walnuts, we love to think about all the hands-on effort that it took to bring them to us. We hope you do, too!

Health Tips

Black Walnut Health Tips

If you're watching your cholesterol, these nuts can help make your diet a whole lot tastier. Black walnuts are very low in saturated fat, yet very high in polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats, which are the good fats that can lower bad cholesterol while maintaining good cholesterol.

Adding a few of these nuts to any dish can help boost its protein, iron and fiber content without adding sugar. They also make a nutritionally similar substitute for the tree nuts that are enjoyed in the now-popular and healthy Mediterranean diets.

You can even eat black walnuts for better overall cardiovascular health, as they contain large amounts of omega-3 fats, which help support cardiovascular function.

“Having grown up with black walnuts many decades ago,,understanding the entire process, knowing how very special they are, it has been pure pleasure putting them into smaller packages this afternoon, trying not to nibble too many. A very wonderful treat. Thank you.very much. Good Luck! ”

“I'm disappointed that I did not know about you earlier. As I mentioned previously, I have been buying 3 pound orders of black walnuts from a competitor and then waiting from September until January for the delivery every year. Not only am I able to order from you year round, your service is so prompt that I ALMOST HAD TO WAIT!!!!!
Thank you.”

“I order your black walnuts which are delicious. They bring back fond memories of my Mom who served them over vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce. I couldn't find them anywhere and was so happy to find you!”

“Received the black walnuts. Thank you! They taste earthy and fresh!”

Michele, Flushing, MI March 29, 2013

“I had never tried Black Walnuts before and the musty scent similar to Gorgonzola was not what I expected, but when I toasted the nuts and used them to make ice cream it was AMAZING! Fast delivery, prompt customer service responding to my questions, and fresh, tasty nuts. Would definitely recommend.”

Chris, Chicago, IL March 23, 2013

“Black walnuts were one of my Mom's
favorites, so guess that is inherited. They are such a chore to shell
that it's really nice to buy them ready to go! Have a cake and a cookie recipe
that everyone likes. Thanks!”

Susan, York, Nebraska March 15, 2013

“My order was delivered to my great satisfaction. The walnuts are as advertised. I am most grateful. I will be happy to recommend your site to others. Thanks.”

Harry, North Little Rock, AR. March 6, 2013

“I eat a variety of nuts and seeds daily but this was a discovery. I'd always heard of them -even kicked them down the road many times! But i had never tried black walnuts. They arrived in a day, very fresh, and with a sweetness which is vaguely familiar but, to me, not at all resembling english walnut. They're good alone in small doses. They're good in SALAD;delicious in MUESLI. I'd bet they're good with ice cream.
Thanks, Nuts.com!”

Richard, New Paltz, NY February 24, 2013

“Amazing nuts! The best black walnuts I have ever had. Fast delivery, I am a happy customer! ”

Jasmine, San Francisco, CA February 22, 2013

“My black walnuts arrived the next day, and the quality is superior. Thank you
