1. Introduction to Walnut Powder
Table of Contents
Walnut Powder is produced from 100% premium walnut kernels (Juglans regia), widely celebrated as the “King of Nuts” for their extraordinary brain-boosting benefits. Our powder is created by carefully milling high-quality kernels into a fine, nutrient-dense ingredient that retains the rich, slightly earthy, and buttery flavor of the whole nut.
Vinahugo utilizes specialized cold-milling technology to handle the high oil content of walnuts, ensuring the powder remains fresh, free-flowing, and packed with bioactive compounds. It is an ideal “Clean Label” addition for high-end bakery, functional beverages, and natural skincare formulations.
