2. Walnut, as a nutritious nut food, contains many different varieties:
1) Walnuts can be divided into four main varieties, namely, Qiu Zi Walnut, Hemp Walnut, Iron Walnut and Cotton Walnut. So how can we simply distinguish? Surface texture is the most direct way to observe and distinguish them.
2) Qiu Zi walnut is a kind of wild walnut, and its surface is characterized by six ribs. This kind of walnut is generally used in Wan Wen, that is, playing with it in your hand, and its price is generally higher than that of edible walnut, but it belongs to the lower end of Wan Wen walnut.
3) Walnut belongs to semi-wild walnut, which is the most important raw material of Wan Wen walnut and a relatively high-end Wan Wen walnut. There are many varieties, which can be divided into dragon pattern, tiger head, Nanjiang stone, childe hair and other varieties. Walnuts are generally round and feel. Often holding hemp walnuts in your hands will help dredge meridians, massage acupoints in your hands and regulate qi and blood.
4) Iron walnut is a southern walnut variety, which is similar in texture to peanut skin and thick in skin, and is generally used in low-end Wan Wen.
5) Walnuts are generally used for food, with shallow surface texture, relatively flat skin and thick flesh. Walnut has a good effect on health, brain and intelligence. Often eat wonderful products that contribute to brain metabolism, brain health and intelligence.
Here are some of the best-selling and selective features.
Xinjiang paper-skinned walnut has the following characteristics: the shape is loess color, resembling table tennis, the flesh is full, the skin is very thin, the meat yield is high, and the taste belongs to Luzhou-flavor. If you like the rich aroma of walnuts, I recommend you to eat this variety. Of course, this variety is not high-quality all year round, and the quality is the best from June 65438+February to April of the following year.
Yunnan 103 Fruit: The shape is also khaki, the skin is uneven, and it looks very thick. In fact, it is the thinnest walnut Lippi, and the pulp is white and beautiful. It tastes sweet and fragrant. It can be said that it is the best variety of walnuts, and its origin is Dayao and Yaotai. It is not as big as Xinjiang walnut, but it is slightly sweet, which has captured many people's hearts, because there are not many goods coming to Guangzhou market every year, and it basically circulates from 10 to March of the following year.
Chilean wax gourd fruit: It is also khaki with long shape and thin skin. The meat is yellow and white, beautiful and sweet. Because it is not a domestic walnut, it is not widely circulated in the market every day, mostly from August to 10. Sometimes you can't buy it if you want to.
Many people ask that the above high-quality walnuts are not in circulation and are difficult to buy. Are there any popular and good quality walnuts? Of course, the common ones are American walnut, Yunnan hemp fruit and European wax gourd fruit. Of course, they also have great defects. Let me introduce them one by one.
American walnut: relatively common, with smooth skin, loess color, oval shape and a little astringent taste, but easy to open the shell, convenient to peel the meat, yellow meat, beautiful appearance and cheap price.
Guo Mu, Yunnan: Black skin, many pimples, peeled to see the meat, the meat inside, there are many veins with the same stripes, the entrance is fragrant, the mouth and tail are slightly bitter, and the market price is 23~26.
Australian wax gourd fruit: not local, it is available from July to 65438+February every year. Excellent quality, no bitterness and astringency, and looks a bit like American walnuts.
As for how to distinguish between old and new fruits: the most intuitive thing is to eat. If you don't want to try, just look at the color of the meat. After opening the meat, you can see the heart of the meat. The heart of the meat is white, and the skin of the meat looks a little transparent and oily, which is an old fruit. If the pulp is white and clean, it tastes fragrant and fresh.
