Diamond Walnuts
We have been growers for Diamond Nuts for nearly 50 years. We are the southern-most growers in California and are proud to grow the leading variety of walnuts "Chandler" - a mild, plump nut - light in color and absolutely delicious! Walnuts are nutritious, rich in antioxidants and omega-3s. They support heart and brain health, reduce inflammation, aid in weight management, and improve gut, skin, and bone health.
