Resources for Nut Producers

Nuts are the most well-known and loved foods available on the market. Nut growers dot the US, offering an array of wholesale nuts, gourmet nuts, mixed nuts, organic nuts and other assorted nuts. Nuts are a perfect alone, as partner for chocolate, cookie bases, and other sweet treats, and in savory applications as crunchy coatings for fish or healthy additions to a salad.

Choose from raw, organic, bulk, or wholesale nuts in multiple states of processing including shelled, roasted, salted or just raw. To find the best nut producers and purchase the nuts most popular with your customers, you should:

1. Survey your customers about the types of nut candies or other food containing nuts that they prefer to help you determine which ones to offer in your food business.

2. Purchase nuts from reputable nut distributors that offer quick service and quality guarantees.

3. Ask for wholesale nuts, shipping discounts and other deals to save money and in turn pass the savings on to your customers.

Decide on the types of nuts you need for your recipes or treats for gourmet gifts

Before looking for a nut grower, you should narrow down the varieties of nuts you need. If you want to leave your options open, find a nut producer with many offerings and a quick shipping policy to get your custom orders to you quickly. If you have the room or a greenhouse, consider growing nuts yourself.

Purchase nuts from a reputable nut grower

When looking for a nut supplier, find one with a large variety of nuts that are fresh picked. You want a grower who has been in the business awhile and can offer solid references. If you are looking for custom nuts, find organic nut growers offering a large variety of nut breeds and processing applications such as roasting.

Ask for wholesale nuts, shipping discounts and other deals to save money

Don't be afraid to ask for discounts or purchase through a wholesale nut grower. You should be entitled to discounts if the nuts are not fresh, if it's the end of the season, if you are purchasing a large quantity or if you offer to pick up the nuts instead of have them delivered.
