Wet walnuts are one of our favorites, and one of our specialties! But what exactly are wet walnuts? Let’s dive into what makes wet walnuts special, and why we love them so much!
When walnuts are picked from the tree, they still have a little bit of moisture. Most walnuts go through a drying process to extend their shelf life and to create the crunch you’re probably familiar with. Wet walnuts, on the other hand, haven’t been through this drying process and are meant to be enjoyed in their freshest state. Because of this, they are only available during the harvest season.
The Flavor
What sets wet walnuts apart is their distinct flavor and texture. Wet walnuts are tender, slightly milky, and have a more delicate, buttery taste. Because they retain moisture, their texture is softer. Some describe the taste as richer and creamier than dried walnuts.
Nutrient Powerhouse
Just like dried walnuts, wet walnuts are packed with nutrients. They’re rich in omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, and a variety of vitamins and minerals. Because they are unprocessed and completely fresh, you get the full benefits of these in their purest form. This makes them an excellent addition to your diet, whether you’re snacking on them raw, adding them to salads, or using them in baking.
Freshness
At Handy Farms, we are dedicated to delivering the freshest organic products directly to your door. Our wet walnuts are picked at the peak of harvest, ensuring the highest quality possible. Because wet walnuts are seasonal and are best eaten soon after harvest, we ship them as soon as they’re harvested so you can experience their unique flavor.
Many people miss out on wet walnuts because of their short season and delicate nature. But they really are a rare treat! Be sure to try out wet walnuts while they’re in season this year and experience their special flavor.
