Crop by Pop Organic Raw Walnuts: The Highest Plant-Source ALA Omega-3 of Any Common Nut, USDA Certified
No other common nut delivers more plant-source ALA omega-3 per ounce than raw walnuts. At approximately 2.5g of ALA per ounce, one daily serving of organic raw walnuts covers the Adequate Intake for ALA omega-3 for most adults from a single whole food source. Crop by Pop sources these as halves and pieces from USDA Certified Organic orchards, Non-GMO verified, naturally grown without synthetic pesticides or chemical fertilizers, raw and unsalted, packed fresh at our Monroe, New York facility in a resealable bag. No roasting. No salt. No PPO fumigation. No additives of any kind. Available in 16 oz and 32 oz.

Conventional walnut orchards apply synthetic fungicides during the hull stage of walnut development, when the green outer hull is still intact around the shell. This is the standard pest and fungal management approach in commercial walnut production. USDA Organic certification prohibits this practice: the growing land must be free from prohibited synthetic pesticides and fertilizers for a minimum of three years before the first certified harvest, with annual third-party inspection maintained throughout the certification period. For walnuts specifically, buying organic means the kernel arrived without moving through a conventional hull-treatment process. For buyers purchasing organic specifically to minimize synthetic residue exposure in a nut they eat daily as an omega-3 source, this certification provides the verified supply chain documentation that an uncertified "natural" label cannot. Non-GMO verification adds an independent second layer of confirmation alongside the USDA Organic status, confirming the walnut variety's genetic integrity through a separate documented verification process.Organic Raw Walnut Nutrition Per One Ounce (About 14 Halves)
One ounce of organic raw walnuts, approximately 14 halves or the equivalent in pieces, delivers: 185 calories, 4.3g protein, 18.5g total fat (13g polyunsaturated including 2.5g ALA omega-3, plus 2.5g monounsaturated), 1.9g dietary fiber, 1.6g net carbs, 28% DV manganese, 11% DV magnesium, and 10% DV phosphorus. The ALA omega-3 at 2.5g per ounce is the standout figure across the entire common nut category. No other tree nut or peanut delivers meaningful ALA omega-3 at this level. The fat-protein-fiber combination produces genuine satiety: an ounce of organic raw walnuts as an afternoon snack sustains energy for two to three hours in a way that lower-fat snacks cannot match. Raw walnuts also contain ellagitannins, polyphenol compounds that gut bacteria convert to urolithins. Urolithins have been studied for their potential role in gut microbiome support, though research in this area is ongoing. The ellagitannin and polyphenol content in raw walnuts is higher than in roasted versions because heat degrades a portion of these compounds during high-temperature processing. That is one of the specific nutritional arguments for choosing raw over roasted when the goal is the full walnut nutritional profile rather than the toasted flavor.Raw Walnuts vs Roasted Walnuts: Why the Organic Raw Format Preserves More
Roasting transforms the flavor of a walnut significantly: the toasted, deeper character of roasted walnuts is preferable to many people for direct snacking. That toasted flavor comes from the Maillard reaction and from some oxidation of the polyunsaturated fat fraction during the high-heat process. Organic raw walnuts preserve three things that roasting changes: the intact ALA omega-3 fat quality, the higher polyphenol and ellagitannin content, and the full enzyme activity present in an unprocessed kernel. For buyers using organic raw walnuts as a daily ALA omega-3 source, the raw format delivers that nutrient in its most intact form from the growing region to the bag. For buyers who want the roasted flavor for direct snacking but purchased raw organic walnuts: dry-toast raw walnut halves in a skillet over medium heat for four to five minutes, stirring constantly, until fragrant and lightly golden. The result is a custom-roasted walnut at the exact level of doneness preferred, starting from the cleanest organic base available.Organic Raw Walnut Halves and Pieces: How to Use Every Format
Organic Raw Walnut Halves for Presentation Applications
Whole walnut halves from this bag suit salads, cheese boards, charcuterie presentations, and any application where the intact kidney shape of the walnut is part of the visual arrangement. Placed on a salad alongside crumbled blue cheese, dried cranberries, and a honey-walnut vinaigrette, a whole walnut half provides visual presence alongside the nutritional contribution. On a cheese board alongside aged manchego and fig jam, intact walnut halves are the correct format because they hold their form through serving.Organic Raw Walnut Pieces for Baking and Blending
The broken pieces that naturally accompany whole halves in the halves-and-pieces format are the correct walnut form for baking, granola production, oatmeal additions, smoothie blending, and walnut butter. In banana bread, brownies, and muffins, walnut pieces distribute more evenly through the batter than whole halves and require no pre-chopping. In granola, pieces integrate into the oat mixture more completely than halves and produce a more evenly textured finished product. In smoothies and plant-based sauces, pieces blend more completely in less time than whole halves.Daily Organic Raw Walnut Snacking: One Ounce, Multiple Uses
One ounce of organic raw walnuts, approximately 14 halves or the equivalent in pieces, eaten directly from the bag as a daily mid-morning or afternoon snack. The mild, clean, slightly earthy flavor of raw walnuts is subtler than roasted versions and integrates easily into a daily routine without the stronger toasted intensity that makes some people less likely to maintain the habit. Paired with a piece of fruit or alongside a serving of yogurt, one ounce of organic raw walnuts covers the daily ALA omega-3 Adequate Intake in a format that requires no preparation.Organic Raw Walnuts Daily Serving and Storage
How Many Organic Raw Walnuts Per Day
One ounce per day, approximately 14 halves or the equivalent in pieces, is the serving used in most walnut nutrition research. At one ounce daily, the 16 oz bag provides approximately 16 daily servings, two to three weeks of consistent use for a single person. The 32 oz bag extends that to five to six weeks at the same daily pace, with a meaningfully lower per-ounce cost. Walnuts are calorie-dense at 185 calories per ounce due to their high fat content. One to two ounces per day as a daily snacking habit delivers the ALA omega-3 and polyphenol benefits without a significant caloric surplus for most adults following a standard daily calorie intake.How to Store Organic Raw Walnuts Correctly
Raw walnuts are approximately 65% fat by weight, with polyunsaturated fats making up the dominant fraction. Polyunsaturated fats oxidize faster than monounsaturated or saturated fats when exposed to heat, light, and air. Storage directly determines how long the organic raw walnut flavor stays clean and fresh. Sealed in the resealable bag at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and heat: two to four weeks of peak flavor. Refrigerated in the sealed bag: up to three months. Frozen in an airtight container: up to twelve months with no significant flavor or texture change after thawing at room temperature. For the 32 oz size: divide on arrival and freeze the bulk portion. Pull a working weekly quantity into the pantry for daily use and return the remainder to the freezer. Organic raw walnuts thaw at room temperature in minutes with no preparation needed before eating.About Crop by Pop Organic Raw Walnuts
