Density 22 · -43 vs Nuts & seeds median

Glazed walnuts score 22 of 100, a Low band that ranks them 55th of 60 in Nuts & seeds, well below the category's typical showing, though protein still reaches 17% DV and dietary fiber comes in at 13% DV.

The candy-like coating makes these a snack or salad topping rather than an everyday nut serving, eaten by the small handful given how sweet they are. Sugar is the clear tradeoff at 32.1 g per 100 g on top of sodium at 446 mg per 100 g, both added during the glazing process; plain macadamia nuts score considerably higher in the same category if you want the crunch without the coating.
