California Walnuts, managed by the Walnut Board and Walnut Commission, represents over 4,000 growers and nearly 100 handlers primarily located in California’s Central Valley, which produces over 99% of the state’s walnuts and accounts for about half of the global walnut trade. The private company is based in Folsom, CA. Funded by mandatory assessments, these organizations support the industry through research, marketing, education, and export development. The California Walnuts website provides resources promoting walnuts as a nutritious and versatile ingredient suitable for various diets, offering recipes, cooking tips, and educational materials. The site also provides information for food manufacturers, health professionals, retailers, and industry stakeholders, including formulation tips, merchandising materials, quality standards, and supply chain details. Walnuts are highlighted for their culinary applications in both sweet and savory products, including plant-based meat alternatives and gluten- and dairy-free formulations. The website addresses proper buying, storage, and handling practices, and emphasizes sustainability, food safety, and quality assurance as industry commitments.
