Nutritional Facts
Black Walnuts are not only good tasting, they are also good for you.
They are low in saturated fats, have no cholesterol, and are high in
polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats (the good fats) which can lower "bad"
cholesterol levels (LDL) without damaging good cholesterol (HDL).
Black Walnuts also
contain iron, minerals and fiber, and contain no sugar. They provide the
nutritional benefits of tree nuts that are enjoyed in the now-popular and
healthy Mediterranean diets.
How Black Walnuts Are Processed
In shell nuts are cleaned and dried. Black Walnut shells are extremely hard,
so special nutcrackers are used in the Black Walnut industry.
The nuts are run between
large steel wheels that crack the shells. Then they pass through a series of
rollers with saw-like teeth that separate the nutmeats from the shells.
Once separated from their
shells, the nut kernels are graded. Latest-technology electronic sorting
machines remove any remaining shell pieces or discolored kernels. Finally, a
trained inspector makes a visual inspection, to ensure that the final product
meets the highest quality standards.
