Food to Live - Organic California Walnuts, 5 Pounds Halves & Pieces, Raw Nuts, Unsalted, No Shell, Suitable for Sirtfood Diet

These are quite nice walnuts, an excellent value. As with practically all of the nut offerings of the quality company, "Food to Live", these are organic, and non-GMO. THE WALNUT ARE PACKAGED IN A VERY TOUGH BAG, WITH A ZIP-lock opening, the better to preserve freshness. I recommend packing these in a specially designated freezer bag, and immediately popping them into the freezer. These, and all other fresh, raw, completely natural and I treated Nuts offer many, many advantages. But - without all of the additives and chemicals, they have a tendency to become rancid earlier than the chemically treated varieties.These are raw and unsalted walnuts, of an extremely high quality grade. Elsewhere is has been suggested that they are from India, and not USDA Organic certified. In my case, as with all "Food to Live" products specified as organic and from the US, that is indeed the case, with the country of origin listed as the US, and bearing the USDA seal of an organic product. I happen to have lived very close to where these walnuts are grown, in California, and can attest to country of origin.These are a light, sweet, well-flavored walnut. These are not of the overly oily type that can sometimes be acquired, rather they are a perfect balance of oil, highly fragrant and fresh walnut aroma, and the accompanying sweet and very satisfactory Flavor.Walnuts are extremely high in protein, anti-oxidants, and fiber, and I use them as a component of my green Smoothie, upon which I subsist. The addition of walnuts, to a variety of other nuts, fruits, veggies, and other raw, non-treated, organic, and non-GMO products producers a very fine, nutritionally well-balanceert, and very tasteful Smoothie indeel.I use various otter "Food to Live" nuts in my Smoothies, and those, along with the addition of fresh organic fruits and vegetables produces an excellent Smoothie, a complete meal in itself, nutritionally speaking. These walnuts are not the harsher and stronger tasting Black English walnut, and apply themselves perfectly to the blend of the other nuts and ingredients.I highly recommend these healthy, extremely nutritious, and lovely tasting walnuts. The mild and sweet flavor addition of a truly fresh, and very high quality walnut, is an experience to be savored in various other foods. You will not find yourself to be disappointed.

I've had an interesting day, so far. Evidently the Fed-Ex person delivered an Amazon Prime package to my front porch. I don't know how, but evidence is that someone must have walked it in as the three inches of new snow is undisturbed. Perhaps they delivered it yesterday as it did, slightly, snow last night.In any case the corner of the package was ripped open and the contents sniffed over by either the big Black Dog that hangs around, or one of the local Bears. I suspect the Dog, but when Sara & Emily came up a couple weeks ago, Emily photographed some very large tracks in the snow.In any case, the insides of the box were undisturbed. If the Black Dog has become as smart about packages delivered as the local Bears, the Cajun Spice inside may have surprised him.  Mccormick Cajun Seasoning, Bayou, 21-Ounce The only other thing in the package was a two and a half pound bag of Walnuts. Did you know that fatty old Walnuts & Pecans are "Diet Food." Evidently the particular type of fat in nuts is the perfect fat to make your body lose weight. I'll bet Nancy (Who owns the Health Food Store) would know why. But those, and peanut butter are marvelous foods for Diabetics.But not for fat old Bears trying to hide in the Winter.

I swear, upon opening up the box and seeing a huge giant bag of fresh walnuts, I hugged it. My husband said I needed a hobby, I told him I just needed a salad to crush up these little dudes over. We use walnuts (and Food To Live Brazil Nuts) as part of our morning vitamin plate- which is composed of wholefood supplements like raw garlic, blueberries, seaweed, fish broth, sauerkraut, dark chocolate, and nuts and seeds. Starting every morning off with a vitamin plate and 1 liter of water has transformed and renewed our body and mind- especially when we replace lunch with some homemade green juice. But here's the rub- when we were buying many of these ingredients from the bulk sections or non-organic, the impact wasn't the same. So I switched out the bulk items with Food To Live products and immediately saw a huge difference! Fresh matters! Stale, moth ridden nuts from the bulk section just isn't the same, even at my favorite brand new and clean Whole Foods that just opened up last month. I've tried other brands too, but Food To Live has won every taste/fresh test, so we keep coming back to them. I recommend all their products, especially the brazil nuts and walnuts. Some days I do miss the savings from the bulk section, and yes, we've had to adjust here and there to make our food budget afford healthy and organic products/produce- but it's worth it. I might miss the savings, but I don't miss the chronic fatigue and headaches!

Love these walnuts. Are excellent in cherry, walnut, oatmeal muffin for breakfast. Yummmmmm!

They taste rancid. I'm so disappointed, I buy this brand a lot, but this is my first time buying their walnuts. I bake with them mostly but occasionally enjoy a handful directly out of the bag. While eating them, I kept thinking, "oh, that was a bad one" nope, they all tasted bad. The expiration date is 2024, so they must have sat somewhere exposed to air before packaging.

These walnuts are just right. They are crunchy and have great flavor. Not a bad one in the bunch.

Have ordered about a year ago but this time the taste was awful. Tried to return one of the bags that wasn’t even opened but you can’t return it. That’s a little ridiculous. Reached out to the seller and no response. Would’ve expected more

These walnuts are the best I’ve tasted! It seems odd to describe nuts as plump and juicy, but that is what comes to mind when eating these. There is no hint of bitterness which you often find with walnuts. They are just superb.

Very nice quality light coloured full halves. Nice crisp texture and crunch. Ideal for decoration as look nice and full halves. Product from USA and item received 04/2018 had expiry 10/2018.

Did not like the taste of these walnuts at all. I usually love them, but these were bitter and strange tasting. Not what I'm used to. My partner didn't like them either.

have been increasing my nut intake and soaking them overnight...consuming them in the morning for brain health. too early to say but they are lovely and fresh...Thank you

Arrived fresh and crispy and in good condition. Tasty
