Tree Nuts

Almond Meal

Almond meal can mean ground edible kernels or oil-extraction press cake, and the distinction affects composition and bakery performance. Identify the almond fraction, compare its lot analysis and match its form to your formulation and receiving setup.

Tree Nuts

Cashews

Bulk cashews are sourced as edible kernels in forms such as whole or broken, raw or roasted. Specify the exact product form and quality measures so the shipment can be compared with your food application and receiving requirements.

Tree Nuts

Filberts

Filberts, also called hazelnuts, are sourced as natural or roasted kernels, ground meal and distinct processing by-products. Identify the exact form and compare relevant quality measures, particle size and handling needs for your food or defined feed application.

Tree Nuts

Mixed Tree Nuts

Mixed tree nuts can mean an in-shell food blend, shelled kernels or pieces, or a distinct processing residue intended for feed. Identify the species, shell status, additives and intended use before comparing specifications or arranging a bulk shipment.

Peanuts

Roasted Pickouts

Roasted pickouts is an imprecise name for roasted peanut material, not a defined grade. Clarify kernel form, skin content, processing, additives and lot-specific quality information before matching a bulk purchase to food processing or another intended use.

Dried Fruits

Strawberries

Bulk strawberries are sourced in fresh, frozen and processed forms, each with different handling and recipe characteristics. Specify the form, intended use and relevant quality criteria—especially frozen-fruit grade or dried-product analysis—to compare suitable offers.

Grains

Teff

Teff is a small-seeded cereal sourced as food grain or flour and separately as forage or straw. Naming the form and intended use helps buyers compare the right quality measures, plan receiving and protect the product in storage.

Tree Nuts

Walnut Pieces

Walnut pieces are broken edible walnut kernels used where a fragment format fits the finished food. Confirm species, kernel-versus-meal identity, piece size and lot condition, then plan moisture-protected, cool storage.

Walnuts

Bulk walnuts can mean shelled kernels, pieces, ground kernel or oil-extraction meal. Identify the species, form and intended use first, then compare the quality measures and handling needs relevant to that product.

A collection of distinct ingredient forms

This collection brings together ingredients used in human food, not one standardized commodity. It includes whole nuts and pieces, almond meal, peanut splits, roasted pickouts, sunflower hearts, teff and strawberries. Their names identify broad product types, but do not establish details such as grade, particle size, processing state or exact form.

Choose by the role in your recipe or process. Almond meal is ground, while walnut pieces and whole walnuts have different size and texture. Teff grain is not the same form as teff flour, and strawberries may be offered in different processed forms. Confirm the product identity before comparing specifications.

Specify what matters to your process

For nuts, seeds and peanut splits, define the form and request relevant details such as piece-size distribution, fines, defects and raw or roasted state. For almond meal, clarify skin status and grind range. For teff, distinguish intact grain from flour; for strawberries, identify the processing method, cut or powder form, and ingredient statement.

Review allergen documentation for the specific product and intended use: peanuts and tree nuts are different allergen groups, and shared handling can matter. Also compare packaging and storage guidance for the form you are buying. Broken nut pieces have more exposed surface than whole nuts, which can affect quality over storage.

Common questions.

Does the ingredient name tell me whether it is ready to eat?+

No. Confirm processing and any microbial-control or kill-step information for the specific product, especially for ready-to-eat uses.

What should I clarify about peanut splits and roasted pickouts?+

Ask for the product definition, cut or piece-size range, fines, source ingredient and processing state. The names alone do not specify a uniform cut or selection standard.

Are the strawberries fresh, dried or powdered?+

The collection name does not establish the form. Confirm the processing method, piece or powder form, added ingredients and any relevant moisture limits.

What allergen information should a food manufacturer review?+

Request product-specific allergen and cross-contact information. Do not infer allergen-free status or certification from an ingredient name.
