Black Walnuts

American Black Walnuts are a distinctive variety of walnut known for their bold, earthy flavor. Unlike English walnuts, Black Walnuts have a thicker shell and a more complex taste profile that adds depth and richness to both sweet and savory dishes. Black Walnuts are prized for their high nutritional content, offering an excellent source of protein (57% more protein compared to English walnuts), healthy fats, and essential vitamins and minerals. Harvested by hand from wild trees across the Midwestern United States, Black Walnuts embody a unique and bold flavor that reflects their natural, untamed origins, making them a sought-after ingredient for gourmet chefs and home cooks alike. Our Missouri Dandy Premium Black Walnuts are sourced from improved variety orchard grown trees, offering a slightly milder, lighter flavor compared to their wild sourced counterpart. Both varieties offer a distinctly unique flavor that can't be found anywhere else in the world!
