As a sustainable farm, we grow, nurture, harvest, package our walnuts and almonds, and provide other nut products. All of our endeavors take place in peanut-free facilities for the safety of our customers.
Glenda’s commitment to sustainability focuses on three aspects:
- Water conservation – reducing usage and recycling as possible via drip irrigation on a solely as-needed basis
- Recycling – by the beginning of 2023, all core production parts will be plastic-free
- Pollinators and biodiversity – nearly 2,500 acres of land for bees and other pollinators to operate safely
Plant-Based Meat Alternatives
A stroll through the typical grocery store will highlight the abundance of plant-based meat alternatives on the market. An entire aisle of freezer space is generally devoted to such products, but the products are often processed.
Glenda’s Farmhouse offers nut ingredients that you can use as a source of protein and an entire line of ready-to-heat flavored walnut crumbles that substitute well for ground meat in recipes. Of course, you can also create your own walnut “meat” to customize the flavors and form it to your liking. A single cup of walnuts provides 12 grams of protein, 47 grams of healthy fats, and 6 grams of net carbs.
Additional natural ingredients often used in place of meat include the following:
- Lentils
- Tofu
- Jackfruit
- Beans
- Seitan
- Mushrooms
- Seitan
- Chickpeas
Preparing walnut “meat” is simple. From breakfast sausage to taco meat, spaghetti and meatballs, and meatloaf, any traditional meal made with ground meat can be duped with a walnut meat substitute. All you need is Glenda’s Farmhouse walnuts, a food processor, and the right seasonings.
