Our medium bakers pieces walnuts are of the English variety grown in California which produces 99% of the total U.S. commerce of English walnuts. Walnuts are a nutrient dense food containing on average 15% protein, 65% fat, 14% carbohydrates and 7% fiber. They are also rich in the dietary mineral manganese, B vitamins and Omega 3's making them known as the ultimate brain-boosting food. Since 2016, the US FDA allows for products containing walnuts to state a Qualified Health Claim which reads "Supportive but not conclusive research shows that eating 1.5 ounces per day of walnuts, as part of a low saturated fat and low cholesterol diet and not resulting in increased caloric intake, may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease."
