The kernel of a walnut with a light shell is of the highest grade, while one with a dark shell is of the lowest grade, said dried fruit seller Tatyana SOLNTSEVA.
When choosing walnuts, it is important to consider several factors.
For example, pay attention to the appearance of the shell. It should be uniformly light brown in color, without defects, cracks, or signs of mold.
It is also important that the nuts are heavy and tightly filled, as a light weight often indicates emptiness, low kernel density, or spoilage. By the way, fresh nut kernels have a mild nutty aroma, while an unpleasant smell of bitterness and dampness signals spoilage.
