Mixed Nuts is a blended product that comes from the grading process of walnut raw materials in the Aksu production area. It contains a mix of varieties including 185 paper-shell walnuts, Xin 2 walnuts, and 33 walnuts, combining different varieties and sizes. Shell colours vary from light to dark, nut shapes and sizes differ, and shell thickness ranges from thin to relatively thick. The kernels are generally plump with a mellow flavour, retaining the typical taste characteristics of Aksu walnuts.

With its diverse variety composition and stable supply, Mixed Nuts is well suited for buyers who do not have strict requirements for variety uniformity. Because different walnut varieties mature and are harvested at different times, Mixed Nuts has a relatively long supply period with good continuity. The appearance is naturally mixed with no uniform standard, making it affordable and excellent value for money.
