PART 1？ The truth about walnuts

Nani? This is a green ball!

It doesn't look delicious at all!

This green skin is the exocarp of walnut.

The hard shell exposed by peeling off the green skin of walnut is the endocarp of walnut.

Indeed, this layer of green skin is not delicious or edible.

It's astringent and bitter.

When peeled by hand, it will stick to dark brown mucus which is particularly difficult to wash.

This kind of walnut that has not been dried is fresh walnut.

Remove the green husk and crack the hard shell to eat.

How to get rid of walnut green peel?

Generally buy fresh walnuts, and vendors will help you make green skins.

If you go to the farmhouse and get a bag of green balls home.

Or in a moment of excitement, do it yourself and have plenty of food and clothing.

Please remember

Wear rubber gloves when peeling!

Once the mucus in the green husk sticks to your hands, it's hard to wash it off!

Of course, you can also choose the following peeling methods:

"Bury walnuts in the soil, wait until the skin is rotten to black, clean the surface, and then dry it" (finishing the small forest)

The yellow-brown skin of fresh walnut kernel is bitter.

But this is a good time to take off.

Gently peel walnuts along the groove.

A white and clean raw walnut kernel appeared.

The raw walnut kernel tastes crisp and sweet,

It's not like eating dried fruit at all.

Uncovering the fresh walnut skin is definitely a technical job. Unskilled people will not wash for a long time, and they will also get the mucus from walnut skin, so please cherish those who are willing to uncover it silently for you! )

People who buy walnuts basically stutter directly.

In fact, walnuts are simply processed.

Walnut and jujube

Do red dates and walnuts actually count as serving?

Because it's too simple.

Just core the dates and insert the peeled walnuts.

This way of eating has been very popular in the last two years.

In fact, a long time ago,

I find it delicious to eat red dates and walnuts together.

But I never thought it would become such a popular snack.

More and more brands carry out deep processing.

A vacuum bag is convenient to carry and eat.

Coupled with the nutrition and health that everyone is pursuing.

It is simply the best snack.

No wonder the fever is not decreasing.

In addition to the classic combination of dates and walnuts,

There is even an upgraded version.
