Before the shell hardens

Fresh to eat, versatile in recipes.

The green walnuts sold here are picked while the outer husk is bright green and the developing shell is still soft enough to cut. Inside is a white young kernel that can be eaten fresh. Its taste is milder and softer than a mature dried walnut, while the whole green fruit is also prized for traditional recipes.

The harvest window is short, so boxes are offered as pre-orders rather than stored for long periods.

Frequently asked questions

Before you order.

What are green walnuts used for?

They are commonly used for green walnut jam, preserves, pickling and traditional walnut infusions. They are harvested before the shell becomes hard.

Can I eat them fresh?

Yes. The green walnuts sold here can be eaten fresh. Cut away the green outer husk and the still-soft shell, then eat the white young kernel inside. It is milder and softer than a mature dried walnut — not slimy or jelly-like.

When will my order arrive?

Your quantity is reserved from the next available harvest batch. We confirm the estimated dispatch window by email. Standard or express delivery time begins after dispatch.

How should I store them?

Keep them refrigerated after delivery and use them promptly. Wear gloves while cutting or peeling because the green husk can stain skin and surfaces.

Where do you deliver?

Checkout currently accepts delivery addresses in the United Kingdom. Available shipping options and prices are displayed in Stripe before payment.
