One of the oldest tree foods known, the walnut is prized both as a snack and as an ingredient across baking, confectionery and savoury cooking.

It is the only common nut significantly rich in plant-based omega-3 (ALA) fatty acids, and also supplies antioxidants, protein and fibre, credentials increasingly emphasised to health-conscious consumers. Demand is rising as walnuts shift from a traditional baking ingredient toward everyday healthy snacking. China is the largest producer at around 1.5 million tonnes (in-shell), followed by the United States (California), with Iran, Turkey, Chile, the European Union and Ukraine completing the leading origins. Global production is approximately 2.7 million tonnes in-shell, with the United States and China together accounting for over three-quarters of output.
