Is red walnut genetically modified?
Red walnuts are not genetically modified.

Red-skinned walnut is formed by grafting two kinds of walnuts. They are native to California, USA, and there are also small areas of wild cultivation in Xinjiang. The shell of red-skinned walnut is harder than ordinary walnut. The skin of this walnut is red and crimson. The test results show that this red color is formed because it contains anthocyanins.

In Europe, this variety is called Red Danube Walnut. Since 1933, it has been formally cultivated by the business community. The earliest plantation in California was named after Robert Livermore (1799- 1858) and translated into Chinese: Livermore red walnut.

Now its commercial varieties are planted all over the world, and they are very sensitive to waterlogging when planting. Moreover, through grafting propagation, seed propagation will be mutated, such as nut whitening. Cross section of fresh and tender fruit.
