Walnut baker pieces are conveniently pre-chopped and ready to add to your favorite cookie and sweet-bread recipes. Mount Hope wholesale bulk walnut pieces contain nothing but fresh English walnuts. English walnuts are known for their mild, earthy flavor that make them one of the most popular nuts in the world.

The complementary relationship between bitter and sweet is one reason why walnut pieces are a staple for baking all types of desserts and treats.

Like many foods, walnuts have an interesting history. What we now identify as English walnuts started out in Persia where it is said they were grown in the famous Hanging Gardens of Babylon. English merchants carried the nuts from country to country as they traveled and Franciscan monks in California began cultivating them in the 18^th century.

Even more amazing than the nut’s history is its nutritional impact. Walnuts provide more omega-3 fatty acids than any other tree nut along with a whopping 4 grams of protein per serving. They’re frequently recommended for helping improve gut health, reproductive health, heart health, cancer prevention and healthy aging.
