  • Cashews

    Cashews (9)

    Cashews are peculiar in their growth because the seed grows from underneath the fruit. The fruit or cashew apple itself is eaten as well, and the juice is enjoyed and also fermented for an alcoholic drink. They are grown in the tropical regions in the southern hemisphere, and like the other tree nuts they are high in essential minerals and anti-oxidants. Our cashews are available fresh roasted or specially seasoned or candied. Next to peanuts, these are the most popular nut at our shop.

  • Walnuts

    Walnuts (1)

    China and Iran actually produce more walnuts than the United States, but the U.S. exports more. The walnuts we sell are English Walnuts as opposed to black walnuts. The husk of the English walnut is thinner, easier to crack, and therefore easier to process. Both the English and the Black walnut are similar in their nutritional value. Pound for pound walnuts are a nutrient-dense food. 100 grams of walnuts contain 15.2 grams of protein, 65.2 grams of fat, and 6.7 grams of dietary fiber. The protein in walnuts provides many essential amino acids. Wikepedia reports, "Compared to certain other nuts, such as almonds, peanuts and hazelnuts, walnuts (especially in their raw form) contain the highest total level of antioxidants, including both free antioxidants and antioxidants bound to fiber."
