Walnuts are sold in stores both peeled and in shell. Aside from the price difference, unpeeled walnuts have an advantage. The shell helps to preserve vitamins and valuable substances.
It is necessary
Knife, bag, hammer, two plates
Instructions
Step 1
Soak unpeeled walnuts in hot water. This will help soften the shells and internal baffles. This will make the nut easier to open. Wait thirty minutes. At this time, prepare a knife and two plates. One for peeled nuts, one for shells and partitions. Peeling walnuts by hand is a long process. You can combine it with watching your favorite movie.
Step 2
Carefully insert the knife into the hole between the nut shells and twist. Sticking the knife too deep will make it harder to turn. Do not overdo it. The nut should split in half. Pull out the partitions, peel the nut from small shells.
Step 3
To speed up the process, you can use another method. Place the walnut in a plastic bag. Spread the bag on a hard surface that will not suffer from hammer blows. Gently tap each nut through the bag. Empty the contents of the bag onto the table and sort through the nut. In this case, you will cope with peeling the nut faster. But a beautiful shape, when the walnut is neatly broken in half, will not work.
Step 4
There are also a number of nut cracker tools available: nutcrackers, nutcrackers, and other fancy tools. They are all easy to operate and are based on the same principle.
