About - Moisture Content in Walnuts (Fedora Farms)

Fedora Farms Image

Industry standard for walnuts moisture content was established as 8% - is there a more rigorous way to establish this number? Fedora Walnut Farms is a mid-sized walnut company located in Sutter County. Fedora believes the number to be originally established by Diamond Food Company in 1970’s through power over the FDA. No Study has validated this number since that time. Now that technology in measuring walnut moisture content along the pipeline has improved, Fedora is interested in understanding how to harness that data to verify or establish a new number.
