Distinguishing characteristics of different types of walnuts
Walnuts are a popular nut worldwide. However, not all walnuts are the same. Here are the salient features of each common classification to help you easily distinguish them:
- Hartley Walnuts (also known as heart walnuts): This type of nut has a characteristic shape with one round end and one pointed end, the kernel has a beautiful heart shape.
- Chandler Walnuts: Chandler walnuts have thin shells, are easy to crack, have a full kernel with a high kernel ratio (48-52%), a rich flavor, and are less bitter. This is a high-quality walnut variety, the most popular in the world thanks to its high yield and superior kernel quality.
- Black Walnuts: The most easily noticeable difference of black walnuts is the rough, thick outer shell with a characteristic black color. Black walnuts have a pungent flavor, hard shells that are difficult to crack, but their nutritional value is many times higher than that of regular walnuts.
- Red Walnuts: Red walnuts also have a brown outer shell like other walnuts. However, the difference lies in the uniquely red kernel. The shell of the red walnut is quite thin, rough, round and slightly elongated with one pointed end and one round end. The kernel of the red walnut is usually larger than other types of walnuts on the market.
How many walnuts are in 1kg?
The number of walnuts in 1kg is not fixed but depends on the type and size of each nut:
- For large walnut varieties such as Chandler or Hartley, 1kg usually contains about 60 walnuts.
- Smaller walnuts such as Chinese or Vietnamese walnuts, 1kg can contain from 75 to 85 walnuts.
Factors affecting walnut prices
Walnut prices in the market are affected by many factors, from origin, variety to size and harvest season. Specifically:
- Origin: Walnuts are grown in many places around the world such as California (USA), Australia, Chile, China, Vietnam,… Among them, walnuts grown in fertile, nutrient-rich lands such as California (USA) often have superior quality and higher selling prices than the rest.
- Variety: Walnuts come in many different varieties such as Chandler, Hartley, Black Walnut,… and prices also vary depending on the color of the nut. For example, the price of red walnuts is usually higher than other walnuts due to their high nutritional value.
- Harvest season: The walnut harvest season usually starts from September to November every year. Buying walnuts in the right season will be cheaper than buying out of season.
- Size: Usually, large walnuts are the most delicious and highest quality nuts, while small nuts are often of lower quality. Therefore, the price of large walnuts will be significantly more expensive than small walnuts.
