    Nice video, I looked this up wondering about the high quality of the walnuts I sprinkle in my oatmeal in the morning. As a kid, I was tasked with harvesting vaguely-similar black walnuts, it was very difficult to get 1/4 cup of nut meats. Thank you to all those who made these walnuts and this video possible,

    • @Theproducenerd
      @Theproducenerd  6 років тому

      No, there are no added chemicals. At the processor where this video was taken, the walnuts do go through a pasteurization step prior to packing, but this is currently an optional practice for walnut processors.

      @@Theproducenerd yes . I re watched. This step was said to be optional. Walnuts is said to have up to 76% oil content, of which there is said to be; up to 18% . Alpha linoleic oil . This oil is quite unstable, it does not take much heat for it to become rancid. Therefore the pasteurisation process could render the walnuts toxic. Therefore thorough testing should be performed. One thing seems certain, and that is the shelf life of the product. I for one am not eating this processed, food because that what it is.
