Everything You Need To Know
Q. What makes PIP AGRO’s Kashmiri Giri Walnut a favourite, and what will I receive?
A. One of PIP AGRO’s best-selling products, these raw Kashmiri walnut kernels bring a rich, nutty flavour and a naturally oil-rich bite to snacks and recipes. “Giri” means the edible kernel with the hard shell removed, so they are ready to enjoy without cracking shells. Also known as akhrot or akrod, they contain pure walnut kernels. Choose 250g as one pack or 500g as two 250g packs. Giri describes the shelled form, not a separate variety or quality grade.
Q. Where are these walnuts sourced, and how does the partnership support Kashmir’s farmers?
A. We procure these walnuts from the same farmer who supplies our Kashmiri almonds and saffron, through ZF Kashmiri Dry Fruits. He is also working to help other Kashmir farmers receive fair and appropriate prices for their produce. PIP AGRO collaborates with this organisation with a shared aim: better pricing for farmers and carefully selected, quality products for customers. It is a sourcing relationship that connects your everyday food with the people behind the harvest.
Q. What does the walnut batch report show about its nutritional profile?
A. The Akrod sample in report KL/F/26-1477, dated 13 April 2026, was tested by Kulkarni Food and Water Testing Laboratory Pvt. Ltd. Per 100g, it recorded total fat 63.93g, monounsaturated fatty acids 12.11g, polyunsaturated fatty acids 46.29g, saturated fatty acids 5.53g and trans fatty acids below 0.1g. PIP AGRO confirms the report applies to this batch. These are the tested sample’s fat-profile values, not a complete nutrition panel or a guarantee for future batches. Refer to your pack for other nutrient and serving information.
Q. How can I enjoy these walnuts, and are there any allergy or serving precautions?
A. Enjoy a small handful raw for a simple snack, or chop into porridge, yoghurt, cereals and salads. Their rich walnut flavour also works in banana bread, cakes, festive sweets, chutneys and homemade walnut pastes. Contains walnuts, a tree nut: avoid if you have a walnut allergy. For young children, use finely ground walnuts in an age-appropriate preparation rather than serving whole kernels.
Q. How do I keep the walnuts fresh, and how long will they last?
A. Store away from direct sunlight, heat and moisture. After opening, keep in a clean, dry, airtight container and refrigerate to help preserve freshness, especially in warm weather. Use clean, dry utensils and close the container promptly. The stated shelf life is up to 6 months under the recommended storage conditions, subject to the best-before date on your pack. Opening does not begin a fresh six-month period, so always follow the printed date and storage directions.
