Understanding USDA grades

More rigorous specifications are tipically negotiable in order to meet a customers’s application require-ments.

US FANCYThe hightest grade-typically appropriate for products where the visual appeal of the almond is critical to the application. This grade is not widely used.

US EXTRA NO.1Similar to US Fancy – ideal for food applications where the appearance of the almond is very important.

US NO.1 (SUPREME)Typically used for whole almond applications or for further processing such as blanching and roasting.

US SELECT SHELLER RUNMid-quality grade – good choice for applications where the almonds with minimal sorting/procesing can be incorporated with other ingredients; for example, inside a confectionery product and the hihger level of chipped and scratched kernels is accepted. Also appopriate for further processing such as blanching, grinding, roasting, dicing, and slicing.

US STANDARD SHELLER RUNGood grade for futher procesing such as blanching, dicing, grinding, or paste, particularly where a hai-gher level of split and broken kernels is not a concern.

WALNUTCHANDLER

HARTLEY

TULARE

WATERLOO

PAYNE

VINA

The Chandler walnut is large, smooth and oval shaped with a good shell seal. Chandlers are known around the world and are highly prized by buyers for their extra light and high qua-lity kernels. Harvested mid to late season, Chandlers provi-de one of the highest kernel yields of any of the varieties.

This “classic walnut” is the principal variety marketed inshell. Hart-leys are harvested mid-late season. The thin-shelled, well-sealed nut is easy to crack and continues to be the best inshell walnut variety for customers who require an artificially bleached shell.

The Tulare walnut is an increasingly popular inshell variety, known for its high yield. Named after a county in California’s Cen-tral Valley, Tulares are harvested mid-season and continue to be a significant contributor to the state’s walnut production.

This walnut is unique in that it closely resembles the highly re-garded Sorrento Italian variety. The nut is unusual in sha-pe as it is pointed at both ends. It is generally considered to be one of the sweetest-tasting varieties cultivated in Cali-fornia, and is highly prized by culinary experts for its flavor.

The Payne walnut is one of the older varieties. Usually the first to be har-vested, Payne walnuts are small to medium size and have a very good shell seal. Many of today’s walnuts have the Payne variety in their background.

The Vina walnut is an early to mid-season variety. Vinas are a cross be-tween Franquette and Payne walnuts. The nut is medium to large in size, pointed, and looks similar to Hartley but is less flat on the base. Color is a good tan and the shells are well-sealed. The Vina is well known for its good quality and high yield.
