What is the best way to toast these raw walnuts at home?
Spread the walnut halves and pieces in a single layer on a baking sheet and toast at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for 7 to 10 minutes, checking frequently. Let them cool before adding to salads, oatmeal, yogurt, or baked goods.
Can I make homemade walnut butter with these walnuts?

Are these walnuts compatible with both sweet and savory recipes?
Yes, raw unsalted walnuts are one of the most versatile nuts and work in both sweet baking like cookies, brownies, and coffee cakes, and savory dishes like pesto, casseroles, and salads. Their naturally sweet flavor complements nearly any cuisine.
Do these walnuts work for dairy-free pesto sauce?
Yes, raw walnuts blend beautifully into a dairy-free basil pesto with fresh basil, garlic, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, and olive oil. They are a popular substitute for pine nuts in vegan and dairy-free pesto recipes.
What is included in the package when I order?

Are these walnuts safe for people with tree nut allergies?
No, walnuts are tree nuts and are not safe for anyone with a tree nut allergy. They are, however, made in a peanut-free facility, which is a key feature for households specifically managing peanut allergies.
Will the flavor or texture vary from one order to the next?
Customers report a thick and consistent texture and sweet flavor profile across multiple orders, with no rancid smell. NOW Foods' strict quality control helps ensure a reliable product bag after bag.
What is the difference between raw walnuts and roasted walnuts nutritionally?
Raw walnuts retain more of their natural omega-3 fatty acids and heat-sensitive nutrients because they have not been exposed to high temperatures. Roasting enhances flavor and crunch but can slightly reduce certain delicate compounds, so the choice depends on your recipe and preference.
