How to quickly remove the skin of fresh walnuts

Natural shade drying

Choose healthy walnuts that are free of disease and pests and have intact skin. After picking them from the tree, place them in a ventilated place to dry naturally in the shade. After a few days, the walnut's skin will become wrinkled and shriveled, and the green skin will naturally separate from the walnut. However, be careful about injured walnuts, as the green skin will turn black in part, so this method is not suitable because it will cause dark skin.

Manual peeling

Tools need to be prepared, including rubber gloves, a small hammer, a knife, an iron brush, etc. Use a small hammer to tap the walnut skin or use a knife to peel off large pieces of skin, then use an iron brush dipped in clean water to continue brushing the remaining skin, and finally use a fine needle and toothbrush to clean it carefully. It is best to wear rubber gloves throughout the process, otherwise the skin on your hands will be stained black.

Artificial ripening method

Spray 200 times diluted "ethephon" solution evenly on the green peel. After a whole day, the green peel will automatically separate.

Retting

Cover the green walnuts with straw mats, straw or something like that and let them ferment. The green skin will naturally fall off when it rots.

Mechanical method

There is a special machine for removing the green walnuts.

Water bubble method

Soak them in water first, then cover them for a few days and they will be easy to split. Or bury the walnuts in the soil to ferment and peel off the skin. Put the walnuts in a cool place for 4-6 days. When the green skin becomes wrinkled, put on rubber gloves and gently peel it. The green skin of the walnuts will fall off by itself.
