How to peel fresh walnuts

Fresh walnuts have a layer of green skin on the outside. Only after removing this layer of green skin can the hard shell of the walnut be exposed. There are many ways to remove the green skin of fresh walnuts. The most common one is to dry it naturally in a cool place and wait until the green skin gradually dries. Then you can peel it off. If you want to eat it immediately, you can peel off the green skin with a knife. Of course, if you are in a hurry, you can also use artificial ripening methods to remove the green skin.

How to peel fresh walnuts

1. Dry naturally in the shade

For healthy walnuts without diseases or pests and with intact skin, after being picked from the tree and dried naturally in the shade for a few days, the skin will become wrinkled and shriveled, and the green skin will naturally separate from the nut. However, for damaged walnuts, where the green skin has partially turned black, this method is not suitable because it will cause the skin to become wrinkled.

2. Artificial peeling

Specific steps: Use a knife to peel off large pieces of green peel, then use an iron brush with clean water to brush off the remaining green peel, and finally clean it carefully with a fine needle and toothbrush. It is best to wear rubber gloves during the entire process, otherwise the skin on your hands will be stained black. Also, be careful not to let the juice of the green peel splash onto other skin, otherwise it will cause ulcers, because the green peel of walnut is also called "Qinglongyi" and its juice is highly poisonous. Don't splash it into your eyes. The biggest advantage of artificially peeling the green skin is that the skin color looks good, while the skin of walnuts that are naturally separated from the bones is darker.

3. Artificial ripening

If you are anxious. Spray 200 times diluted "ethephon" solution evenly on the green peel. After one day, the green peel will automatically separate from the bones.
