1. Look at the shell thickness
The most direct difference between the two is the thickness of the shell. From the appearance point of view, the skin of thin-skinned walnuts is thicker, while the skin of paper-skinned walnuts is only thin.
From the comparison picture, we can see that the skin of paper-skin walnuts is very thin, and the inside of the shell is smooth, and the pulp and peel are easy to separate.
The most direct method is to pinch it with your hands. Because the skin of paper-skinned walnuts is relatively thin, it will open when you pinch it with your hands. Thin-skinned walnuts cannot be opened with just your hands, and you often need to borrow a shell opener.
2. Look at the taste and oil content
Compared with thin-skinned walnuts, paper-skinned walnuts have a greater oil content. They will not taste astringent, but are a natural The fruity flavor will make the taste better. Thin-skinned walnuts, on the other hand, contain relatively little oil and will have a slightly astringent taste when eaten, and will have an aftertaste after eating.
No matter what kind of walnut it is, the functions are the same, but relatively speaking, the value of paper-skin walnuts will be higher, so the price will be more expensive. I hope everyone can keep their eyes open and distinguish the difference between the two. Never buy thin-skinned walnuts at the price of paper-skinned walnuts.
