Founder's Note

From Mohit, founder of Chau Foods

Hi, I am Mohit from Chau Foods. Customers often pick whole walnuts because the kilo price looks lower, then realise half of it is shell. Both are good buys for different reasons. Giri for daily use and baking, whole walnuts if you like the ritual of cracking them fresh.

Whole walnuts are cheaper per kilo because you are also paying for the shell. Roughly half the weight of a whole walnut is shell. USDA data puts the edible part at about 45%.

Whole walnuts (₹1,149/kg)₹1,149about 45%about ₹2,550
American giri₹1,869100%₹1,869

So per bite, giri is often the better deal. Whole walnuts are still worth buying because they stay fresh longer and many people enjoy cracking them. Read walnut with shell vs walnut giri for the full comparison.

Chilean, American or Kashmiri?

  • Chilean: light coloured kernels, mild and sweet, very little bitterness. Usually priced at the top.
  • American (California): light to medium colour, reliable quality, a little cheaper.
  • Kashmiri: traditional Indian walnuts with a stronger taste and often darker kernels. Quality varies a lot by batch.

More in our Chilean vs Kashmiri vs California walnuts guide.

How to Spot Good Walnuts

1

Colour

Light golden kernels are fresher and milder. Dark brown kernels are older or lower grade.

2

Smell

Nutty and clean. A paint-like or bitter smell means the oil has gone rancid.

3

Taste one

Fresh walnuts taste slightly sweet. Rancid ones are sharp and bitter.

4

Shell (for whole)

Clean, unbroken, light coloured, and heavy for its size.

Walnut oil goes stale faster than other nuts. Keep giri in an airtight jar in the fridge and use within 2 to 3 months. Whole walnuts keep well in a cool, dry place for several months.
