About us
The California Walnut Board and Commission proudly represent the interests of over 4,600 dedicated growers and approximately 70 handlers, who produce more than 99% of the U.S. supply of English walnuts and contribute to nearly half of the world’s walnut trade. Our mission is simple: to share the exceptional quality, sustainability and benefits of California-grown walnuts with the world. We support the growth of the walnut industry through innovative research, marketing initiatives and adherence to the highest production standards. We engage and educate consumers about walnuts through TV, print and digital ads, as well as public relations activities and educational programs. Both domestically and in export markets, our marketing activities educate consumers, the trade and health professionals on the benefits of California walnuts. For food and beverage manufacturers, California walnuts provide a premium, plant-based ingredient that enhances the nutrition, taste and market appeal of packaged foods. As a source of alpha-linolenic acid omega-3s, walnuts are the ideal choice for companies looking to meet growing consumer demand for clean-label and sustainable ingredients. From snacks to baked goods, to plant-based meat and dairy alternatives, California walnuts deliver unmatched versatility and value to packaged foods and restaurant menus. We’re passionate about helping food manufacturers and foodservice operators bring innovative walnut-based products and menu items to life. From concept to market, we’re here to provide the knowledge, resources and support needed to turn ideas into reality—empowering you to meet emerging trends and consumer needs.

Adding walnuts to a bread dough imparts exceptional texture and flavor. But when in the mixing process do you add them? It's best to add walnuts to bread dough after the initial gluten development has occurred, specifically during the late mixing phase. This will minimize interference with gluten development and discoloration of the dough. Have a question for Shelly? Leave a comment! #foodtechnology #foodindustry #foodscience #baking #bakingindustry
