Walnuts can be classified into three categories based on the thickness of their outer shell: Burzil, Kagzi, and Wont.

• Washing : We wash the walnuts manually in water, rather than sulphuric acid to protect the kernels from damage. We keep some of best graded walnuts unwashed to crack them and get their kernels.
• Grading : After washing, walnuts are graded into three different qualities i.e. super walnuts (32mm), special walnuts (28mm) and number one walnuts (26mm).
• Cracking : After washing and grading, some of walnuts are kept unwashed and then cracked to get their kernels. The walnut kernels are also graded into six different categories i.e. Extra Light Halves, Light Halves,Light Quarters, Light Broken, Light Amber Halves and Light Amber Broken
• Quality Check : After every above mentioned step, walnuts and their kernels are sent to the quality control division where our skilled and dedicated food- technologists check the quality and further send it to packaging division.
• Packaging : We have a packaging division where all the products are packed in a way that their freshness and nutrition remain preserved. Walnuts are packed into 10kg and 20 kg cardboard boxes whereas walnut kernels are packed by way of vacuum to maintain its quality and freshness. It’s packed in to 250gm, 500gm, 1kg and for exports in 5kg packs.
