Cash on Delivery available across Rawalpindi and Islamabad.

What Are Soft Shell Walnuts?

Soft shell walnuts are whole walnuts with a thin, light shell that cracks with gentle pressure — no hammer needed. Because the kernel stays sealed inside its shell until you crack it, it stays protected from air and moisture. That is why shell walnuts taste fresher, longer, than kernels that have been sitting open.

This 250g pack is a family favourite: crack a few each evening, eat them fresh, and the rest stay perfectly good in the shell.

Why Shell Walnuts Cost Less Than Giri

A 250g pack of shell walnuts includes the weight of the shells, so the kernel weight is less than a 250g pack of pure giri. That is why soft shell walnuts cost Rs 500 while Desi Akhroot Giri 250g costs Rs 1,200. If you do not mind cracking, shell walnuts give you fresh walnuts at the lowest price. If you want zero effort, choose giri.

Health Benefits

• Omega-3 ALA: Walnuts are one of the richest plant sources of ALA omega-3 (~9g per 100g of kernel), supporting brain and heart health.
• Steady energy: Healthy fats, protein (~15g per 100g kernel) and fibre keep you full between meals.
• Winter wellness: A classic Pakistani winter food — warming, filling, and satisfying with a cup of chai or milk.
• Good for kids: Cracking walnuts is a fun, hands-on way to get children to eat a genuinely healthy snack.

How to Crack Soft Shell Walnuts

• By hand: Press two walnuts together in your palm — the thinner shell gives way easily.
• Nutcracker: A light squeeze is enough. Do not crush hard or the kernel breaks into small pieces.
• Pick the kernel out: Use a small fork or the tip of a knife to lift out whole halves.
• Crack only what you need: Leave the rest in the shell to stay fresh.

Storage Tips

Shell walnuts are the easiest dry fruit to store. Keep the pack in a cool, dry place and crack as needed. Once cracked, eat the kernels the same day, or keep them in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to a few weeks. Do not store near strong-smelling foods — walnut kernels absorb odours.
