About Walnuts

Walnuts are edible nuts sold in their hard shells or as shelled kernels. The kernels have a ridged, lobed appearance and a crisp texture when fresh, with a rich, nutty flavour that can include a slight bitterness; the shell is not normally eaten.

They are used whole, chopped, or ground in sweet and savoury foods, and are also available raw, toasted, or salted. The name does not specify variety or whether the shells have been removed, and processing and freshness influence texture and flavour.
