Ordering Green Walnuts
We sell green walnuts for the short time that they are in season which is usually from early December to early January. Because the picking time varies from year to year depending on weather conditions we usually take orders for green walnuts from December each year and dispatch as walnuts are ready for picking. We do keep a list of people who would like to be notified when green walnuts are ready so please provide your details through the 'contact us' page if you would like your name to be added to the list.
Green walnuts is the usual name for immature walnuts (the shell has not yet formed) that are ready for pickling and other uses as described below.
GREEN WALNUTS ARE NORMALLY ONLY AVAILABLE FOR CUSTOMERS LOCATED IN AUSTRALIA
According to Wikipedia 'In some countries immature nuts in their husks are preserved in vinegar. In England these are called "pickled walnuts" and this is one of the major uses for fresh nuts from small scale plantings. In Armenian cuisine, walnuts are preserved in sugar syrup and eaten whole. In Italy, liqueurs called Nocino and Nocello are flavoured with walnuts, while Salsa di Noci ("Walnut Sauce") is a pasta sauce originating from Liguria. In Georgia, walnuts are ground along with other ingredients to make walnut sauce.'
