What You're Buying
Halves and pieces means the bag contains a mix of whole unbroken walnut halves and broken segments of the same quality walnuts. Whole walnut halves are used where the intact visual appearance of a complete half matters: plated garnishing, charcuterie boards, and decorative baking finishes. For every other use, the halves-and-pieces format is the practical choice. Baking, trail mix, salads, walnut butter, pesto, and cooking all use chopped or broken walnut pieces regardless, and most recipes call for rough-chopped pieces rather than whole halves. The broken segments perform identically to intact halves in every application where the ingredient goes into something rather than sits on top of it.
Packed in a resealable zipper-seal bag designed to minimize air exposure between uses. Seal the bag firmly after every serving. For comparison with other single-ingredient raw nut options, see Raw Hazelnuts (Filberts), With Skin — Unsalted and Raw Brazil Nuts — In Shell.

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, stirring frequently. Add to spinach salads, Waldorf salads, arugula with blue cheese, and autumn grain bowls. Freshly toasted walnuts add a warm, nutty depth to cold salads that raw walnuts directly from the bag cannot replicate. Transfer off heat immediately once fragrant as walnuts move from perfectly toasted to burned quickly.
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 especially 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 nut butter that differs noticeably from almond or cashew butter. Season to taste 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. Keep the mix in a sealed container and consume within 3 to 4 weeks of mixing since the 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 creates a golden crust that adheres without breadcrumbs or binding agents. For a similar crusting nut with a milder flavor profile, see Raw Almonds, Sliced (Natural).
Choosing the Right Size
Five sizes are available to match your usage frequency. The 6 oz bag is right for first-time buyers and light occasional use. The 1 lb bag is the practical everyday size for regular snacking and baking. The 2 lb bag suits regular bakers and multi-person households. The 3 lb and 5 lb bags are designed for high-volume buyers and established daily users. For the 3 lb and 5 lb sizes, divide into portions and freeze on arrival. Raw walnuts thaw at room temperature in minutes with no preparation needed.
Storage
Raw walnuts have a higher natural oil content than most tree nuts and oxidize faster than almonds or cashews if stored warm or unsealed. Seal the resealable zipper-seal bag firmly after every use and keep in a cool, dry location away from heat and direct light.
- Room temperature, sealed: 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
Rancid walnuts have a sharp, bitter, paint-like aftertaste clearly distinct from the fresh, mildly earthy flavor of good raw walnuts. If your walnuts taste sharp or bitter, discard and replace rather than using in baked goods or cooking where the off-flavor concentrates.
