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.

“My grandpa used to get black walnuts when I was a kid. It's the only kind of nut I like. I had only had some maybe twice since he passed away 15 years ago. I'm now on my 3rd lb in about 2 months. (The chocolate covered pretzels are great, too.)It's great to be able to get them again & not only that, your service is excellent & so is your product. Thanks.”

“My relatives were thrilled with the gift of black walnuts. They were impressed with the large whole pieces of nut and wondered how you did it. Any time we have tried to shell walnuts we end up with many little pieces. Thank you for your prompt shipping.”

Kathy January 1, 2008

“I had English and Black Walnuts sent to my mother-in-law as a gift. She is 93 and was worried about using something sent through the mail. After assuring her they were perfectly fine, she made her nutrolls and they turned out even better with your walnuts, which were so fresh and tasty (we tried a few, of course).”

Diane, Port Deposit, MD November 26, 2007

“Ordered black walnuts for my mother-in-law & husband - they say, "DELICIOUS!!"
Great service - THANKS! We'll be ordering again!”

Sharon, Plains, KS November 15, 2007

“The first time I tried the black walnut, I was absolutely blown away. The black walnut took me back to my childhood. We had a walnut tree out in the back yard and my brothers and sister, myself included use to get the nuts and use a hammer or brick to break open the nuts. We would then use a needle or pin to pick the meat out and eat like crazy. I've always been a nut about nuts and when I saw the black walnut I had to get them and this was back in 2006. I told my Pastor about the nuts and I had to order her about three bags. My Pastor is also from the South. Also the blueberries, strawberry are out of this world. All the nuts that you now have to buy out of the stores, my grandparents use to have these trees in their backyard. Now you're lucky if you find a pecan tree. I'm so glad I found this nuts online website. I would recommend all the products online. I can't wait to get the cherries.”

Joan, Newark, NJ August 22, 2007

“I have been a fan of fresh black walnuts for years, but can't find the time to crack them. Found NutsOnline and have looked no further. These are the BEST I've ever eaten! I'm now a dedicated customer for life.”

Andrea, Charlottesville, VA March 24, 2007

“Received order in just three days. Black walnuts can be very hard to find. These are great! Large pieces for black walnuts and fresh! Must be this year's crop. Thank-you! We will order from you again.”
