Product Description
Raw Walnuts – Chilean
Raw walnuts are walnuts that have not been roasted, so they keep a pale, natural colour and a soft, mild taste. These Chilean walnuts suit baking, salads, porridge and homemade pesto. You can eat them as they are or toast them first for a deeper flavour.
What Do Raw Walnuts Taste Like?
Raw walnuts taste mildly sweet and buttery, with a slight bitter edge. The bitterness comes from the thin skin on the nut. It is gentle and many people like it, especially with sweet or creamy foods.
The nuts have a crinkled shape and a light golden-brown colour. They have a softer bite than almonds or hazelnuts. They break easily, which makes them simple to chop for baking.
Ways to Use Raw Walnuts
Raw walnuts work in both sweet and savoury cooking. Here are some common ways to use them:
- Coffee and walnut cake, banana bread and brownies
- Waldorf salad, or scattered over a green salad with goat's cheese
- Walnut pesto blended with garlic, olive oil and hard cheese
- Muhammara, the Middle Eastern red pepper and walnut dip
- Stirred into porridge, overnight oats or homemade granola
- Baklava and other pastries with chopped nuts
- A cheeseboard snack with apples, pears or dried figs
How to Toast Raw Walnuts
Toasting raw walnuts takes only a few minutes and gives them a deeper, nuttier taste. Warm a dry frying pan over a medium heat and add the walnuts. Stir often for about 3 to 5 minutes until they smell toasty.
Watch them closely, because walnuts burn quickly. Tip them onto a plate straight away to cool. They turn crisper as they cool, so chop them after that.
You do not need to toast walnuts for cakes and loaves. They bake in the oven with the batter. Toast them when they go on top of salads, porridge or soups, where they stay raw otherwise.
Raw Walnuts FAQ
Do I need to toast raw walnuts before eating them?
No, raw walnuts can be eaten straight from the bag. Toasting is optional and simply gives a stronger, nuttier flavour.
Why do walnuts taste a little bitter?
The thin skin on a walnut has a natural bitter taste. Toasting them lightly can soften it. Pairing them with honey, fruit or cheese also balances it.
What is the difference between raw and roasted walnuts?
Raw walnuts have not been heated, so they taste milder and softer. Roasted walnuts are crunchier and have a deeper flavour. Raw ones give you the choice of how to cook them.
Add these Chilean raw walnuts to your basket ready for your next cake, pesto or bowl of porridge.

We take great care when preparing and securely packing every order; however, during transportation, parcels may be handled by several parties, including the courier, and despite our best efforts, minor cosmetic damage such as dents, marks, scuffs or damage to external packaging may occasionally occur. Minor cosmetic damage that does not affect the product’s safety, quality or intended use will not normally be considered a product defect. This is particularly applicable to products supplied in cans, tins, plastic containers, boxes or similar packaging. If you receive a product that is broken, leaking, materially damaged, unsafe, unusable or otherwise not as described, please contact us within 24 Hours of delivery by email or telephone and provide your order number, details of the issue and clear photographs of the damaged product and packaging. We may require further information or evidence to investigate the matter and, where necessary, may take up to 14 days to complete our investigation. Where damage appears to have occurred during delivery, we may need to raise a claim with the courier, and you may be required to complete and return any Damage on Receipt (DOR) form or other documentation requested by the courier before the claim can be processed. Some products we sell are price-marked or display a manufacturer’s recommended or printed retail price. Please note that our online selling prices may differ from the price printed on the product because online orders involve additional costs such as picking, packing, packaging materials, warehouse handling, payment processing, website administration and delivery-related costs. You may therefore receive a product displaying a printed or recommended retail price that is lower than the price you paid online. The price you agree to pay is the online selling price displayed on our website at the time you place your order, and the presence of a lower printed or recommended retail price on the packaging does not, by itself, mean that the online purchase price was incorrect. Product images displayed on our website are for illustration and presentation purposes only. Actual product packaging, branding, design, colour, size, shape or appearance may vary depending on availability, manufacturer, batch or packaging updates. Such variations do not necessarily indicate that the product supplied is different from the product ordered, provided that the product itself corresponds to the description and specifications stated on the website. We ask customers to check their order and products as soon as reasonably possible after delivery and contact us promptly if there is any material damage, fault, incorrect item or issue with the goods.
