　　Thin-shelled walnuts

Tiane grows many varieties of walnuts, among which the most renowned are the thin-shelled ones. They are characterized by their very thin shells (1–1.5 mm), underdeveloped inner septa, large and plump kernels that are easy to extract whole or in halves, with a kernel yield of over 50%, and relatively large fruit size, with about 80 per kilogram. They are very convenient for fresh consumption, have excellent processing performance, and are an outstanding variety for export. Walnuts are delicious and highly nutritious—they can be eaten raw, roasted, pressed for oil, or used in various pastries and candies. The walnut wood is hard and has beautiful grain, making it suitable for industrial machinery. The walnut shells can be made into activated carbon, while the tree bark and husks can be used to extract tannin. Walnut oil is a premium edible and industrial oil.
