Walnut

English walnuts are the seeds found in the round, soft fruit of the walnut tree (Juglans Regia). A walnut is the edible seed of a drupe, and thus not a true botanical nut. It is commonly consumed as a nut. After full ripening its edible seed when the shell has been discarded, it is used as a garnish or a snack.

 Descendants of these trees continue to grow wild across much of Europe and were even transported and transplanted in North America. The word “walnut” is commonly considered a deviation from the Old English word “Wealhhnutu” meaning “foreign nut” the language and word the native peoples of Europe might have used to describe a nut tree brought to their lands by the Roman conquerors.

Walnuts grow inside a hard shell surrounded by a fleshy husk which is removed after harvest. Walnuts are marketed either in the shell or with the shells removed (as these are). These Raw English Walnuts are offered just as they are when they are removed from their shells. They have a soft crunch which can be enhanced with a light toasting or a gentle roasting, which will also bring out their inherent aroma. They have a rich brown exterior and a pale interior. Walnuts, as many nuts, are a good source of protein and dietary fibre. They are also a key source of polyunsaturated fatty acids and antioxidants.
