How to peel fresh walnuts How to peel fresh walnuts

Everyone must have eaten walnuts, but the walnuts people usually buy are mostly processed dried walnuts, with a hard outer skin of gray or light brown. In fact, fresh walnuts have a skin on the outside, which is mostly green. After the walnuts in mountainous areas are ripe, the walnuts are collected and the outer green skin is removed before they can be put on the market for sale. So how should fresh walnuts be peeled? Let me share with you how to peel them.

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.
