What are Wet Walnuts? What is a Wet Walnut?

Wet walnuts are one of our specialties at Handy Farms! But what exactly are wet walnuts? Let’s dive into what makes wet walnuts special, and why we love them so much!

If you’ve never heard of a wet walnut, you may be wondering what makes it different from the walnuts you typically find at the grocery store. The answer is simple: wet walnuts are fresh walnuts that have not yet gone through the drying process.

At Handy Farms, we believe that wet walnut season is a special part of our fall harvest. Our organic wet walnuts give customers the opportunity to enjoy walnuts in a fresh, seasonal form.

The Wet Walnut Flavor 

What sets wet walnuts apart is their distinct flavor, texture, and color. 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 them very different from traditional dried walnuts. They describe it is richer and creamier than dried walnuts.

Nutrient Powerhouse: A Wet Walnut

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.
