 Okay. 1 walnut in-shell = 18-23 grams = .65-.8 ounces 14 shelled walnut halves = 1 ounce or 224 halves per lb so, let's just say .75 oz per walnut x 5 lbs (80 oz) = 60 walnuts = 120 halves/ 224 = about 1/2 lb of shelled walnut halves. voila! If my math is wrong, tell me, please p.s. More accurately- just over 8.5 ounces Last edited by joepiebaker; 12-13-2004 at 07:31 PM.  |

| walnut weight I believe your math to be wrong, you state I need 60 shole walnuts. If one walnut weighs .75 oz. then 60 would weigh 45 ounces. 60x.75=45. I think the total walnuts would be 106 instead of 60, 80/.75=106. Thank you for the weight of a walnut. |

| Kathy, this from the California Walnut Commission: Approximately 45% of the walnut is meat. Obviously, this depends on the size of the walnuts and the variety, so this is only an approximate figure. Penny Riggs California Walnut Commission 1540 River Park Drive, Suite 203 Sacramento, California 95815 Phone: 916-646-3807 So a 5# bag x 45% = 2.25# of walnut meats. Feel free to send on a cookie
