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.
