Organic walnuts in their shells

Walnuts are a nutritious and delicious snack choice that comes with a variety of health benefits. When shopping for walnuts, you’ll likely come across both shelled and in-shell varieties. In-shell walnuts are those that have not been removed from their hard outer shell before purchase, whereas shelled walnuts have had their shells split open to reveal the edible kernel inside.

In-shell walnuts are often preferred for their longer shelf life and the fact that they retain more flavor and crunch than shelled varieties, making them a great choice for snacking or baking. To ensure maximum freshness, store in-shell walnuts in an airtight container and keep them away from heat and direct light. Refrigeration is not necessary but can help to extend the life of the walnuts.
