　　Yunxi walnuts are large in size, with an average single fruit weight of 14.1 grams and kernel weight of 8.4 grams; the shells are thin, measuring only 0.9 millimeters thick; they are of high quality, containing 15.2% protein, 73.04% fat, as well as trace elements such as calcium, iron, phosphorus, and zinc; they have a good taste, with plump, delicate flesh that is crispy and delicious.

　　Walnuts have been cultivated in Yunxi for over 200 years. People plant them in fields, by their homes, and around their houses, making walnut trees ubiquitous across Yunxi’s landscapes.

　　Currently, the county’s walnut planting base has reached 180,000 mu, with over 6 million yuan in reward-in-lieu-of-subsidy funds disbursed, giving rise to a large number of major walnut-growing townships, villages, and households. At the same time, new products such as walnut oil have also been developed.
