SELECTED NUT PRODUCTS

ALMONDS

Almonds have a wide application to all types of foods sweet and savory. Our almonds grow in bright and sunny California and are available in several forms, including blanched whole, blanched sliced, blanched slivered, natural sliced, natural slivered, and natural whole.

CASHEWS

With its sweet taste and soft consistency, cashews are one of the most pop-ular snacking nuts. Cashews are renowned for the flavor they add to many Asian cooking dishes, perfectly complementing spicy flavors with its buttery consistency.

WALNUTS

Besides their rich flavor, walnuts also are known for their array of health benefits. The sunshiny, damp climate of the U.S. Northwest, from where we source our walnuts, produces some of the tastiest, highest quality walnuts in the world.

PECANS

Pecans are the original U.S. tree nut, best known for its starring role in southern pecan pie and praline candy. Sweet and buttery, pecans have sky-rocketed in popularity as an export overseas over the past few years.

HAZELNUTS

Also known as filberts, the lush Willamette Valley in the state of Oregon produces 99% of all U.S. grown hazelnuts. Hazelnuts are shelled and avail-able in a variety of sizes and are deliciously combined with sweet flavors like chocolate.


™

SELECTED DRIED FRUIT PRODUCTS

BLUEBERRIES

Blueberries are known for their soft, mild sweetness and distinctive flavor that grows best in the fertile soil of the Pacific Northwest. They’re available in both lowbush and highbush varieties, both offering a delicious snacking or baking berry.

CRANBERRIES

Sweetening the tart, pungent flavor of cranberries makes them one of the most unique and satisfying snacking fruits. Whole cranberries also are excellent to bake with, and can produce delicious sauces, beverages, relishes, jams, and more.

STRAWBERRIES

One of the most popular and famed U.S. fruits, strawberries are known for their juicy texture, enticing aroma, and sweetness. Used in all types of foods from ice creams to chocolates to fresh salads, our strawberries are cultivated domestically and grown to its ripest, plumpest, freshest variety.

CHERRIES

Balancing tart and sweet flavors simultaneously, cherries are a superb low-calorie, high-nutrient fruit. Bing cherries originated in Oregon and remain the most popular variety of sweet cherry in the United States.

RED RASPBERRIES

The temperate climate of the Northwest is perfect for growing lush, tangy, sweet red raspberries. With a melt-in-your-mouth consistency, red raspber-ries have a flowery flavor and can substitute for sugary candy when you’re in need of a sweet snack.
