Overview of small walnut

Small walnut, also known as "Carya cathayensis", is a plant that grows in northern Thailand. Its fruit is the size of cashew nuts, but its shape is more similar to olives. The flesh of small walnut is light yellow, sweet and rich in nutrients. It is a characteristic fruit in northern Thailand and one of the main foods for local people.

Juglans regia mainly grows in mountainous areas in northern Thailand, such as Chiang Rai, Nambang, Mae Sot and other places. The climate here is mild, the rain is abundant and the soil is fertile, which is very suitable for the growth of small walnuts. Because the growth environment of small walnut is very special, its yield is very limited, which makes it a very precious fruit.
