Shaya Walnuts

　　Shaya walnuts are a specialty of Shaya County in the Aksu Prefecture of Xinjiang.

　　Shaya County in Xinjiang is known as the “Jiangnan Beyond the Great Wall,” the “Land of Fruits,” and the “Home of Walnuts.” The Tower River Pearl walnuts grow on the edge of the Taklamakan Desert, at the foot of the beautiful Tianshan Mountains, and along the picturesque Tarim River in a national nature reserve. This area offers an excellent environment for walnut cultivation. Walnuts are one of Shaya’s main cash crops. In recent years, the county has vigorously promoted walnut planting among local farmers and herders, continuously strengthened field management, and expanded the adoption of eco-friendly and green fruit production techniques. These efforts have led to significant growth in the walnut industry, making walnuts a fruitful source of prosperity for local farmers and herders.

　　Product Features: Thanks to the unique geographical and climatic conditions, the walnuts produced here are large in size, have thin shells, and are high in oil content. In particular, there are large, pear-shaped walnuts, oil-rich varieties, and paper-shell walnuts with shells so thin they can be cracked with a squeeze. No matter the type, these walnuts are all richly aromatic and delicious.
