Walnut is one of the most beneficial for the body. It is recommended that you eat a few nuts daily as a source of vitamins and minerals. Walnuts contain iron, copper, cobalt, unsaturated fatty acids, protein, more than two dozen essential amino acids, B vitamins, vitamins C and PP, and many other useful substances.

Instructions
Step 1
When buying walnuts, ask what sort is in front of you. The best varieties are considered "Gissar", "Ideal", "Thin-shell", "Rodina" and "Uzbek fast-growing".
Step 2
Find out the crop year of the nuts. Walnuts are high in fat, which can give the kernels a rancid taste at high temperatures and when exposed to air. It is difficult to store nuts for a long time. In bags or boxes, they can lie without losing their taste, only until the end of winter.
Step 3
When purchasing walnuts from the market place your hand in the bag of them. Do not take wet or cool ones. It is not uncommon for unscrupulous sellers to add water to the weight. Nuts soaked in this way quickly deteriorate.
Step 4
The walnut, while growing on the tree, is surrounded by an amniotic rind. It dries up and cracks when the nut is ripe. When purchasing walnuts, pay attention to whether there are remnants of a green shell on the shell. In this case, the nuts, especially if they are small, are considered unripe.
Step 5
Choose large nuts with a thin (no more than one and a half millimeters) shell. It is better to buy elongated fruits, because round nuts usually have a thicker shell, which means a smaller kernel.
Step 6
Light nuts are most often spoiled or empty. There should be no cracks or holes in the nutshell.
Step 7
A walnut with a smooth shell has few partitions inside. If it is possible to split the fruit for testing, then keep in mind that the most delicious and healthy kernels are covered with a light film with a golden tint.
Step 8
Quality walnuts, if desired, can be opened by squeezing with your fingers. Walnut kernels should be firm and firm. They break with a fine crunch. However, they are very fragile, as if paper walnuts should not be taken: they quickly mold during storage.
Step 9
When shopping for shelled nuts, choose crispy and bulky ones. Nuts should not be lethargic or shriveled.
