NUTS U.S. Chandler Walnuts In Shell are jumbo, raw California walnuts sold in their shells for a fresh, buttery crunch and easy cracking at home.

These are Chandler variety walnuts grown and packed in California and offered in a 1 lb bag with shells intact. The shells preserve freshness and flavor while making portioning and storage simple. These non-GMO, raw walnuts present a naturally rich texture and taste that works well as a snack, baking ingredient, or salad topper.

What makes Chandler walnuts different from other walnut types?

Chandler is a widely planted commercial variety known for larger nut size, a uniformly shaped kernel, and a mild, buttery flavor. The jumbo size means more edible kernel per nut and a satisfying crunch when cracked fresh. Because these are packed in-shell, the kernel remains protected until you’re ready to eat or use them.

• Jumbo-sized nuts with larger kernels than many other varieties
• Consistent shape that cracks cleanly for easy extraction
• Mild, buttery taste suitable for sweet or savory recipes
• Shells preserve flavor and extend pantry life

How do I crack and store in-shell walnuts for best results?

Use a nutcracker, hammer, or bench vise to crack the shell carefully and avoid crushing the kernel. After cracking, remove shell fragments and store kernels in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer to maintain peak freshness. Whole in-shell walnuts can be kept in a cool, dry place for months when stored properly.

• Crack with a dedicated nutcracker or gentle taps with a hammer
• Keep extracted kernels in airtight containers, refrigerated for longer shelf life
• Store unopened in-shell walnuts in a cool, dark pantry or cellar
• Freeze kernels for multi-month storage without flavor loss

How can Chandler in-shell walnuts be used in the kitchen?

These walnuts are versatile: eat them raw, roast or toast them for intensified flavor, or chop and add to salads, baked goods, and grain dishes. Their buttery profile pairs well with fruits, cheeses, and chocolate, and they hold up well when baked or candied. Because they arrive in-shell, you can crack only what you need for a recipe to maximize freshness.

• Snack raw straight from the shell for a crisp bite
• Roast with a pinch of salt or spice to enhance aroma and taste
• Chop into salads, breads, cookies, and granolas
• Use as a garnish for roasted vegetables, oatmeal, or desserts

Are these walnuts responsibly produced and labeled?

These walnuts are grown and packed in California and are labeled non-GMO and raw, reflecting their minimal processing. In-shell packaging helps protect the kernel and reduce the need for additives or preservatives. For specific cultivation or allergen questions, check the product label or contact the brand directly.

• Grown and packed in California to industry standards
