About Walnuts
You would be amazed at the fact that walnuts are not nuts, as they are the seeds of a drupe from any tree in the Juglandaceae family. This brain-like nut is 1 1/2 to 2 inches in diameter and consists of a single seed enclosed by a hard shell.

Production
Walnuts are a delicious and healthy snack that can be enjoyed year-round. They are packed with nutrients and grown with patience and require a lot of hard work. Usually, the harvesting of walnuts begins by the end of August. It is the time when the trees become adult, and the outer green hulls split apart. Then, mechanical shakers vigorously shake the trees so that the walnuts fall. The fallen walnuts are so picked up, and the outer green is removed. Finally, the bulk walnuts are ready for sale.
Producers
Walnuts have a rich history dating back thousands of years, and they are the oldest tree food. The walnuts originate in Iran, specifically Persia. And USA, Iran, and China are the largest walnut-producing countries.
