Raw Walnuts, Halves and Pieces Unsalted, California-Grown, Packed Fresh in the USA
Nut Cravings raw walnuts are California-grown Chandler and Hartley English walnuts, shelled, unsalted, and packed fresh at our Monroe, New York facility in a resealable zipper-seal bag. Every one-ounce serving delivers 200 calories and 5 grams of protein, making these a good source of protein, dietary fiber, heart-healthy fats, selenium, zinc, iron, antioxidants, omega-3, and magnesium. The halves-and-pieces format includes whole walnut halves and broken segments of the same California walnuts, delivering the same quality as whole-halves-only products at a lower per-ounce cost. Eighteen verified buyer reviews. 4.56 stars. Five sizes from 6 oz to 5 lb. Free shipping on orders over $25.

Halves and Pieces: Why This Format Is the Right Choice for Most Uses
Whole walnut halves are unbroken kernels used for presentation-quality garnishing where the visual appearance of the intact half matters. The halves-and-pieces format includes whole halves and broken segments of the same California walnuts at a meaningfully lower price per pound. For baking, trail mix, salads, pesto, walnut butter, and cooking, the broken pieces perform identically to whole halves and most recipes call for chopped pieces regardless. The halves-and-pieces format is the practical choice for any use case where the ingredient is going into something rather than displayed on top of something.

How to Use Raw Walnuts Halves and Pieces
In Baking
Fold raw walnut pieces into brownies, banana bread, carrot cake, chocolate chip cookies, and spice cakes. The natural oil content keeps baked goods moist and gives walnut pieces good structural integrity through oven heat. For pastry crusts and crumbles, ground walnut pieces blend into the dough cleanly. For quick breads and muffins, leave in rough-chopped pieces for textural variation throughout the finished bake.
In Salads and Grain Bowls
Toast in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes until fragrant. Add to spinach salads, Waldorf salads, arugula with blue cheese, and autumn grain bowls. The warm, toasted character of freshly skillet-toasted walnuts adds a depth that raw walnuts directly from the bag cannot replicate in a cold salad context.
As Walnut Pesto
Substitute raw walnut pieces for pine nuts at a 1:1 ratio for a richer, more affordable pesto. The earthier, bolder flavor of walnuts produces a more robust sauce that pairs particularly well with wild mushroom pasta, bitter greens, and roasted root vegetables.
As Walnut Butter
Blend raw walnuts in a food processor for 8 to 10 minutes until the natural oils release and the texture becomes smooth. The result is a distinctly earthy, rich nut butter that is noticeably different from almond or cashew butter. Season with a pinch of salt at the end if desired.
In Trail Mix
Raw walnuts pair naturally with dried cranberries, dark chocolate chips, almonds, and pumpkin seeds in homemade trail mix. The omega-3 content and protein make them a nutritionally strong trail mix anchor. Keep the mix in a sealed container and consume within three to four weeks of mixing since the raw walnut's higher oil content oxidizes faster once exposed to air in an open mix.
As a Fish Crust
Press ground raw walnut pieces onto salmon, tilapia, or halibut fillets before baking. The natural oil content of walnuts creates a golden crust that adheres naturally without the need for breadcrumbs or binding agents.

Storage
Raw walnuts have a higher natural oil content than most tree nuts and go stale faster than almonds or cashews if stored warm or unsealed. Seal the resealable zipper-seal bag firmly after every use.
- Room temperature, away from heat and light: 2 to 3 months of peak freshness after opening
- Refrigerated in the sealed bag: up to 12 months
- Frozen in an airtight container: up to 18 months
For 3 lb and 5 lb sizes, divide and freeze on arrival. Raw walnuts thaw at room temperature in minutes with no preparation needed.
