Walnut Sizing/Colour Chart
California shelled walnuts are sold according to size and colour, with the lighter walnuts being the most popular for aesthetics. But the difference is more than just colour, because with each colour variation comes a range of flavour components. Knowing the difference in these flavour variations can make a difference in your products. Description and size tolerances are based on the USDA Standards for Grades of Shelled Walnuts.
