Walnut (Akhrot)
Common questions from importers about sourcing, quality, and exporting Walnut (Akhrot) from India.
-
What are the common grades for Indian walnut kernels?Indian walnut kernels are graded by color and size: Light Halves (Premium), Light Broken, Light Amber Halves, and Amber Halves. Light kernels are the most sought after for retail and snacking due to their mild flavor and aesthetic appeal.
-
Where are Aethon walnuts sourced from in India?Our walnuts are exclusively sourced from the high-altitude orchards of Jammu & Kashmir and Himachal Pradesh. The cold Himalayan climate produces walnuts with a rich nuttiness and high Omega-3 content that is superior to many lowland varieties.
-
How should walnuts be stored for long-distance export?Walnuts have a high oil content and are sensitive to heat. We recommend cold storage at 2-8°C with relative humidity below 60%. For export, we use vacuum-sealed nitrogen-flushed packaging to prevent rancidity and maintain crunch for 12+ months.
-
What are the primary industrial uses for Indian walnuts?Indian walnuts are a preferred ingredient in the global bakery industry (for brownies and artisan breads), the confectionery sector (for premium chocolates), and the increasingly popular plant-based dairy industry for walnut-based milks and spreads.
