About Shelled Walnuts

A walnut is a most beautiful tree up to 30 meters high with branchy crone and strong trunk covered with thick dark-grey cracking bark. On average a walnut lifetime reaches 400 years. Fruit is a dry drupe with pulpy inedible cup which dries out and cracks when ripening. The legend of walnut origin says that Carya, the daughter of Laconian king Dion and the beloved of Dionysus, was changed into the nut tree by the latter. In VII-V centuries BC a walnut mentioned as one of the main cultures in the garden of Persian king Cyrus. The Romans used walnuts to treat tuberculosis and emaciation, while Eastern wise men – to strengthen heart and liver. Walnuts were delivered from Greece to Russia about 1000 years ago by Greece merchants.
