Walnuts are edible nuts that grow on trees in temperate regions. They have a hard shell and a rich, oily kernel.
Walnuts are nutritious and delicious. They are high in protein, healthy fats, antioxidants, and minerals. They can be eaten raw, roasted, or used in baking and cooking.
Walnuts need a well-drained soil, full sun, and moderate water. They can be grown from seeds or grafted saplings. They take about 4 to 7 years to bear fruits.
Walnuts are ready to harvest when the green husks split open and reveal the brown shells. They can be shaken or knocked off the branches and collected from the ground. With just 20 plants, you can easily get a profit of 5 to 6 lakh rupees.
Walnuts should be dried and cured before storing. They can be stored in their shells or shelled and kept in airtight containers. They can last for several months in a cool, dry place.
Walnuts can be enjoyed as a snack or added to salads, cereals, desserts, and dishes. They can also be made into walnut oil, butter, milk, flour, and pesto.
