Tang County Walnuts

Tang County Walnuts

　　Ancient texts refer to them as "hutao" or "qiangtao." Tang County is one of the earliest regions in China to cultivate walnuts, with a long history of cultivation. There are many excellent varieties of walnuts here, mainly including paper-shell walnuts, thin-shelled walnuts, open-kernel walnuts, spike walnuts, and early-ripening walnuts, which generally feature thin shells, large fruits, and high oil content. Walnuts are a highly valuable dried fruit, oilseed, timber, and medicinal tree species. Walnut kernels are highly nutritious and offer medicinal benefits such as boosting qi, nourishing blood, moisturizing dryness, resolving phlegm, regulating the triple energizer, and moistening the lungs. The walnut tree is also very suitable for greening and ornamental purposes in Tang County's semi-arid mountainous areas.

Walnuts are an excellent health food, known for replenishing brain nutrition and enhancing memory. Tang County walnuts are large, have thin shells, and plump kernels. They grow in a pollution-free environment without the use of chemical fertilizers or pesticides, making them pure, natural, and double-green health foods.
