Walnuts contain a high concentration of polyunsaturated fats, including omega-3 fatty acids, making them highly susceptible to oxidation and rancidity. This vulnerability means their storage location and temperature are crucial for maintaining their fresh taste and nutritional benefits.

Research indicates that the average weight of a single walnut in its shell is about 11.7 grams. However, the weight varies, depending on factors such as the walnut variety and whether the shell is included.
