China’s Walnut

From China’s walnut township to the global table: how we make a good export walnut with 20 years of craftsmanship

As a foreign trade enterprise that has been deeply engaged in the walnut processing field for 20 years, we always believe that a walnut that can go global should not only carry the gifts of nature, but also stand the rigorous test of quality, safety and flavor in the international market. Today, we will take you into our walnut processing plant to unveil the whole process of craftsmanship from picking to export crating. I. Why choose walnuts from Chinese production areas? Natural Advantages from Variety to Origin

There are many walnut producing areas in the world, but Chinese walnuts have become the most sought-after products in Europe, America, the Middle East and other markets due to their unique quality of “high unsaturated fatty acid + low astringency”. Our walnut raw materials all come from the core production area with an altitude of 1200-2000 meters, a temperature difference of 15℃ between day and night, and an average annual sunshine of more than 2500 hours. The natural geographical conditions allow walnuts to accumulate richer nutrients. Take our main export “paper walnut” as an example, its seed kernel fullness reaches more than 95%, the shell thickness is only 0.8-1.2 millimeters, and it can be peeled off by lightly pinching it with the hand, which is known as “Easy-Open Walnut” in the international market. “. Compared with ordinary walnuts, 80% of its fat content is unsaturated fatty acid which is beneficial to human body, the protein content reaches 15%, and every 100 grams of seed kernel contains potassium equivalent to 3 bananas, which is a “natural nutrient storehouse” in overseas health food market. Second, from picking to processing: 36 procedures to control the export-level quality

The core competitiveness of foreign walnuts is hidden in every strict processing link. We have established a whole chain quality control system from “branch to port”, and the processing link alone contains 36 procedures, of which 5 key steps are up to the EU food standards:

Grading picking: manually select adult fruit trees aged 15-25 years, and pick them by hand at the best ripening period when the fruit skin turns from green to yellow. Graded picking: Adult trees of 15-25 years old are handpicked at the best ripening period when the skin turns green and yellow, avoiding damage to the seed kernels caused by mechanical picking. Shelling and non-destructive process: Adopting self-developed low-temperature physical shelling equipment, the shells and kernels are gently separated at -5℃, which ensures that the integrity of the seed kernels reaches 98% (compared with about 80% in the ordinary process). Color Sorting and X-ray Inspection: The 6-channel color sorter rejects particles of different colors, and then the X-ray machine detects tiny impurities, and can accurately identify even 0.1mm broken shells. Low-temperature baking to lock the freshness: adopting low-temperature baking at 60℃ instead of high-temperature frying retains more than 90% of the nutrients, and at the same time allows walnuts to carry their own natural fruity flavor. Aseptic Packaging: Packaging is done in 100,000-class clean room, and according to the needs of different countries, we provide 25kg industrial pack, 1kg super market pack and 200g family pack, and the packaging materials have passed FDA food contact certification.
