Walnut from Dayang Township

Walnut from Dayang Township

　　Walnut is recognized worldwide as one of the “four major dried fruits.” It is rich in both nutritional and medicinal value. Scientific assessments show that 1 kg of walnut kernels is nutritionally equivalent to 9.5 kg of milk, 5 kg of eggs, or 4 kg of beef. Walnuts can aid digestion, strengthen the spleen, improve blood circulation, nourish the skin, enhance beauty, moisten the lungs, and reduce phlegm. They are a precious food for strengthening the body, improving fitness and brain function, and promoting longevity. In recent years, Dayang Township has continuously increased development efforts in mountainous areas and vigorously cultivated premium walnut as a key industry. Collaborating with provincial and municipal forestry research departments, the township has conducted seedling grafting experiments, successively introducing top-quality global varieties such as “Xiangling,” “Luguang,” and “Yuanfeng.” It has also successfully implemented the latest scientific achievements including “green branch grafting” and “hard bark cutting” for walnuts. These varieties are characterized by their large size, thin shells (easily cracked by hand), and abundant flesh.
