My grandma gave me a 5 pound bag of unshelled walnuts for my birthday last week
So my grandma handed me this massive sack of walnuts at my party and said 'you'll thank me later.' I was pretty annoyed at first because who even uses whole walnuts anymore. Then yesterday I cracked a few open for a salad and realized they actually taste way better than the pre-shelled bags from the store. Am I missing something or are whole nuts actually superior to the processed ones?

Gotta disagree with you there. Pre-shelled nuts are way more convenient and fresh enough for most things, plus nobody wants to spend 20 minutes cracking open a salad.

Read somewhere that nuts start losing their healthy fats the minute they're shelled, so those pre-packaged ones might not be as fresh as you think. Plus, I saw a taste test where the shelled ones won every time for flavor and texture. Just something to chew on before you grab that bag from the store.
