True California Organic Chandler Walnuts, Natural & Unsalted, Shelled Halves & Pieces (2 lb)

In 1979, the University of California at Davis introduced the first Chandler walnuts to the world. Today, Chandlers have become the most prominent variety grown in California and they’re the most popular walnut around the globe. Most people value this variety because of their extra light color and high quality kernels. The Chandler walnut is large, smooth, oval nut that has a thin shell. The kernels are also naturally larger sized and plumper. Chandlers have a mild but sweeter flavor compared to other walnuts. Almost as if they’ve been touched by maple syrup. They also taste less bitter than most other varieties. Chandlers have a sub-acid content so most people who are sensitive to walnuts do not feel the tingling sensation in their mouth when eating Chandlers. They’re a wonderful walnut that everyone can enjoy anytime!

Our Chandler walnuts are grown, harvested, and packaged in California. This is important because it helps keep our Chandlers fresher for longer. Exposure to sunlight, heat, moisture, and air will cause walnuts to go stale. The sooner walnuts go from harvest to package, the better. Freshness and quality are key to enjoying a naturally full-flavored Chandler walnut. It’s a difference you can taste.

Walnuts are delicious way to give your meals healthy boost! You can put some in your yogurt, cereal, granola, salads, pastas, or even ice cream. They’re a popular baking ingredient in banana nut bread, cranberry muffins, and chocolate chip cookies. You can use our Chandlers to make walnut butter too. And when entertaining guests, walnuts are a great addition on charcuterie and grazing boards.

They’re also a great snack for anytime of the day. We like adding them to our oatmeal in the morning. Others love them after a workout or some gardening work. Walnuts are a healthy option for movie nights and perfect for the mid-day munchies. Having walnuts in your pantry is always a good idea.

Walnuts are one of the world’s top superfoods. They’re packed with powerful nutrients like Omega-3’s, Vitamin B6, and magnesium. These nutrients and many others found in walnuts have been linked to health benefits such as:

• Promoting heart, bone, and brain health
• Lowering risk of chronic inflammation and oxidative stress
• Reducing total and LDL (bad) cholesterol levels
• Improving male reproductive health
• Supporting healthy skin and hair

In 2016, the US FDA approved this statement: "Supportive but not conclusive research shows that eating 1.5 ounces per day of walnuts, as part of a low saturated fat and low cholesterol diet and not resulting in increased caloric intake, may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease.” The American Heart Association also approved walnuts for the Heart Check certification.

Enjoy!
