Walnuts are rounded fruits. The husk encloses the granny-like wrinkle walnut shell. There are two types, one is two-segmented and the other is three-segmented. However, the latter is costlier than former due to lack of availability. Check out the pictures provided for a clearer view. The walnut encloses the kernel in it, and the anti-oxidants that it possesses protects the kernel from rancidity. Nature has a solution to everything and is auto-regulated.
Walnuts are known as 'akhrot' in India. They are grown in Jammu & Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Arunachal Pradesh, etc. The most popular walnuts are from J&K. I have tasted them from one of the famous suppliers of J&K. Similar to a Telugusaying which says 'the more you eat(neem leaves) the sweeter it tastes' the walnut kernel in the first bite tastes bitter, but as you eat you start liking it. To get a good flavoryou can either roast it for 10 minutes or soak it overnight and start your morning with delicious crunchy walnuts.
There are innumerable health benefits too. It is as a part of a diet to lower cholesterollevel, blood purifying agent, to reduce inflammation and many more. Besides, excessive consumption can lead to softening of stool and bloating. But consuming it on a daily basis in small quantities has a positive impact on health.
Finally, few walnuts a day keeps many problems away.
