Hammons Products Company is a processor and supplier of American black walnuts. Wild, hand-harvested black walnuts stand alone in the nut world as a flavorful, nutritional ingredient in consumers’ favorite baked goods, ice creams, candies and more. Meanwhile, increasing overseas demand—coupled with a supply shortage—has driven up wholesale pecan prices. Black walnuts are lower in prices and more stable in supply. Added to salads, entrees and desserts, the robust and rich flavors of the American black walnut turn everyday dishes into exciting signature creations. Black walnuts also are considered a holiday mainstay in many traditional seasonal recipes. – Hammons Products Co., www.black-walnuts.com
