Walnut Fruit

We generally categorize walnut as a nut and a dry fruit when combined with other nuts like almond, pistachios etc. So, a fruit or a nut you ask? The answer is fruit! This expensive fruit can be found practically anywhere in the world, mainly because of the trade and the commercial profits.

Normal walnut has an inedible hard brown shell, as you crack it, you will see brown kernel which is edible. The taste is bitter and not liked by many. Besides the brown walnut, few are aware that the plant also produces a fruit that is green in hue.

Green walnut’s appearance is pretty different and can be easily mistaken for some other fruit. Although the fruit may not be edible on its own, it is used to make pickles. People frequently mistake this green fruit for the green apple, but they are nowhere close to each other.
