Organic Walnut Pieces 125g/250g

Walnut pieces offer the same nutritional benefits as walnut halves at a more accessible price point — ideal for baking, blending, and cooking where the shape is less important. These certified organic walnut pieces from Just Natural Organic carry the same rich profile of omega-3 ALA, manganese, copper, and polyphenol antioxidants as whole walnuts.

Slightly smaller and more irregular in size than halves, walnut pieces are ideal for stirring directly into batters, granola, and sauces. They toast and blend just as well as halves and are particularly practical for everyday cooking.

Certified organic by the Soil Association. Plastic-free, home-compostable packaging. Available in 125g and 250g.

Stir into banana bread, brownies, or muffins. Add to granola or overnight oats. Blend into walnut pesto or a creamy pasta sauce. Scatter over porridge. Toast in a dry pan and use as a crunchy salad topping. Mix into energy balls with dates and cacao.

FAQs

What is the difference between walnut halves and walnut pieces?
Walnut pieces are simply halves or quarters that have broken during processing — nutritionally identical, at a slightly lower price. They are ideal for baking, blending, and granola where intact shape is not required. Halves are better suited to garnishing and salads where presentation matters.

Can I use walnut pieces for walnut pesto?
Yes — walnut pieces blend just as well as halves in a food processor. Try blending with basil, garlic, Parmesan (or nutritional yeast for vegan), olive oil, and lemon juice for a richly flavoured walnut pesto that makes an excellent pasta sauce or bread dip.

Are walnuts suitable for people with nut allergies?
Walnuts are a tree nut and a declared major allergen in the UK. They are not suitable for those with tree nut allergies. These are packed in a facility handling multiple tree nuts and peanuts.

Are these gluten-free?
Yes — walnuts are naturally gluten-free. Packed in a facility handling gluten-containing grains and other allergens.

How should I store walnut pieces?
Store in an airtight container in a cool, dark place. Due to high polyunsaturated fat content, refrigeration is recommended after opening. Use within 3 months of opening for best freshness.
