Red Livermore Walnuts are a festive red because of their dense nutrition, including high concentrations of B vitamins and antioxidants. Perhaps you’ve eaten an English Walnut in the past and found it too bitter. Red Walnuts have a considerably low level of tannic acid, making them far less bitter and easier to digest.

Red Walnuts Vs. Regular Walnuts
Red walnuts stand out from regular walnuts with their naturally vibrant red skin and milder flavor. Unlike English or Chandler walnuts, which can taste slightly bitter due to higher tannic acid levels, red walnuts are smoother, less astringent, and easier to digest. They also contain a dense concentration of antioxidants and B vitamins, giving them both a festive look and a nutritional edge. While regular walnuts are widely known and versatile, red walnuts offer a unique balance of taste, color, and nutrition that makes them a special alternative.

Q: How do they taste compared to regular walnuts?
A: Unlike traditional English Walnuts, which can sometimes taste bitter, Red Walnuts contain much lower levels of tannic acid. This gives them a smoother, milder flavor that’s easier on the palate.

Q: Are they easier to digest?
A: Yes. Because of their reduced tannic acid, Red Walnuts are gentler on the digestive system, making them a preferred choice for those who love walnuts but dislike the bitterness or digestive discomfort of regular varieties.

Q: Why choose Red Livermore Walnuts?
A: They not only stand out with their vibrant color but also deliver superior nutrition and a smooth, enjoyable flavor—perfect for snacking, baking, or festive dishes.

About The Farm:
Handy Farms is owned and operated by the property’s only residents: The Handy Family. Clayton Handy had a dream to create a fully sustainable farm. He dreamed of having his food products free from pesticides, herbicides, and as nutritionally dense as possible. The result is an agricultural system that preserves the health of the farmer, consumer, and mother nature. 

All products at Handy Farms are grown using a regenerative agriculture system. This means the diverse plant and fungal ecology is planned in such a way that the crops nutritional needs are met by this underground network. As a result of the dense understory soil organic matter is also building. This improves the soil’s water-holding capacity and pulls carbon from the atmosphere into the soil where it acts as a vital building component in plant growth. How is that for reducing carbon footprint?

The dream would be incomplete if it weren’t for the children’s laughter as they play throughout the orchard and dense vegetation beneath. The vision of Handy Farms includes Family, Nutrition, and Earth. It is truly a labor of love.
