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.

“Its time to bake my "world famous" fruit cake, and only the best would do. You really can't achieve my Aunts delicious results without black walnuts. For some reason, they were difficult to find in the super markets this year. Thanks for coming to the rescue and saving Christmas!!”

“Finally to again savor the taste of Black Walnuts! The first crunch, and so many memories came back. Haven't had these nuts since I was a young child and visited my Uncle Ed's friend Earl who had a Black Walnut tree in his back yard. Here it is over 75 years later and they are more delicious than I remembered. Thank you for offering them for sale.”

“The shipping was super fast.The black walnuts were very fresh and flavorful. My wife scolded me for eating them straight from the bag. She said that the walnuts were to be used in baking. I ate more without her knowing. ”

“Yes I received the Black Walnuts this afternoon & had to taste some--they are wonderful, just like I remember from my childhood--I'm 60 yrs. young. Only then we had to pick them up from under the tree & crack them then pick them out--BOY what a job. It is so much easier getting them from you. I make a great Pound Cake full of black walnut & everyone raves about it. Thank you so much!!! Terrie”
