Where Are Walnut Kernels Cultivated?
Walnut kernels are the edible inner part of walnuts, known for their rich, nutty flavor and crunchy texture. Walnuts are grown in temperate regions around the world, with major production in countries such as the United States (especially California), China, Iran, Turkey, and parts of Central Asia. The walnut trees produce hard-shelled fruits, inside which the kernels develop.
After harvesting, the walnuts are dried, cracked, and the kernels are carefully separated and cleaned. Walnut kernels are valued for their natural oils, nutrients, and versatility in both sweet and savory dishes. They are widely used in baking, cooking, snacks, and traditional foods, and are consumed globally for their taste and health benefits
