How to remove the skin of fresh walnuts?

If you want to make dried walnuts from fresh walnuts, you must first remove the skin of the fresh walnuts so that you can take out the walnuts inside. When removing the skin of fresh walnuts, some skills are also required, such as shade-drying peeling, manual peeling, drug peeling, etc. The walnuts that are picked out can be dried and stored. The dried walnuts will taste more fragrant.

1. How to peel fresh walnuts

1. Dry and peel

After fresh walnuts are picked, they can be dried naturally and peeled, especially those that are healthy, pest-free, and have good skin. They can be placed in a cool and ventilated environment to dry naturally. After a dozen days, the green skin on the walnut surface will shrink and shrivele. This is its green skin, which will naturally separate from the nut inside. People can remove the green skin on the surface by gently peeling it with their hands.

2. Artificial peeling

In some walnut producing areas, people do not like to use the shade drying method to remove the walnut skin, because this method takes a long time and is prone to produce defective products. The best way is to peel the walnut manually. When removing the skin of fresh walnuts manually, you should first use a knife to scrape off the large green skin on the surface, and then put it in water, and continue to clean the remaining green skin with an iron brush. Next, use a fine needle and toothbrush to clean it carefully. Finally, the walnuts can be cleaned and dried before they can be put on the market for sale.

3. Drug peeling

After seeing the walnuts fall from the trees, you can also treat them with medicine. Place the walnuts in a warm environment, spray 200 times the amount of ethephon, spray an appropriate amount of medicine on the surface of the fresh walnuts, and then cover them with a quilt or other insulation materials. After a day, the green skin on the surface of the fresh walnuts will automatically fall off. This method will easily leave pesticides on the surface of the walnuts, and these pesticides may enter the human body when we eat them, causing harm to the body.

2. The efficacy of walnuts

(1) Improves intelligence and strengthens the brain

Among the lipid substances in the human brain tissue, omega-3 fatty acids account for about 20%. Lack of omega-3 fatty acids will affect memory and thinking ability, and affect intellectual development. Walnuts are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, and regular consumption of walnuts can improve memory and learning ability.

(2) Hair growth and darkening

The main component of hair is protein. When the human body lacks protein and trace elements, symptoms such as hair breakage, frizziness, split ends, and hair loss will occur. The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine states that walnuts nourish the kidneys and brain, replenish qi and blood, and moisturize the skin and darken hair. The kidneys are responsible for hair, so eating more walnuts can strengthen kidney qi and improve hair quality. Walnuts are rich in protein and trace elements. Eating them regularly can maintain the health of your scalp and hair, and have a good effect on gray hair and dry hair.

(3) Moisturizing and anti-aging

Walnuts are rich in unsaturated fatty acids, vitamin E, vitamin B and trace elements, which can effectively maintain skin elasticity and moisture, and prevent skin from becoming rough, dry and wrinkled, so they are called "longevity fruit".
