Big Walnuts

　　Walnuts have been cultivated in Yangcheng County for a long time, and their quality is renowned across China for being thin-shelled, thick-fleshed, brightly colored, and rich in flavor. The annual production exceeds 1,000 tons. In March 1991, at an international trade fair attended by 54 countries held in Panama, the Shanxi-exported walnuts selected from Yangcheng County and 17 other counties won the gold award.

　　Walnuts (also known as longevity fruit or brain fruit) are the only natural brain-nourishing food. They can invigorate yang and nourish kidneys, moisturize the intestines and relieve constipation. Regular consumption can delay aging, prevent arteriosclerosis, and are considered the best food for strengthening the body, benefiting the liver and kidneys, and preventing aging. The southern mountainous area of Yangcheng has vast hills and widespread slopes with crisscrossing valleys and ridges, providing unique natural advantages for developing walnut production.
