Since I was a child, my grandmother loved to eat walnuts for me, and while taking the door slit, she told me: Eating more walnuts can supplement the brain, and those smart people are especially fond of eating walnuts.
Although I didn't like walnuts at that time, in order to ensure my IQ, I still stuffed them into my mouth. When I grew up, I found that fairy tales are all deceitful, and walnuts that have been clipped by the door do not make up for the brain at all.
Hu Han is enmished and must shed heroic tears
This subtitle is from Mr. Jin Yong's "Tianlong Babu" review, which refers to Qiao Feng, the leader of the gang. In order to prove that he is not a Hu, he travels around, and everywhere he goes, there are dead people, more spirit than Conan. The great hero killed his wife and betrayed the lord for the sake of Hu Han's identity, and eventually he was also killed in yellow sand.

Coincidentally, walnuts are also such an unlucky egg. The "big name" of walnuts is actually called walnut, which belongs to the walnut genus of the walnut family. Some people say that the kind of small and round and hard skin bought in the market is not called a small walnut? No, the name of the goods is pecans. So, walnuts are actually called walnuts, walnuts are actually called walnuts... The problem of the Chinese name of the plant is really a permanent pain, and I am also desperate.
The big name is "walnut", which must be a foreign one--all the texts in our country record that walnuts were brought back when Zhang Qian passed through the Western Regions. Foreigners don't think so—german horticulturist Berland believes that "the homeland of walnuts is China", and the former Soviet botanist Uruf holds the same view. This statement also makes sense, the ancient western region mainly refers to Qinghai, Gansu, Xinjiang, today mainly in China's territory. The territory has expanded, the Hu Han family has been, you see.
Since it comes to types, we might as well make it clear to the guys who are related to walnuts at once. Many people will put a pair of similar-looking, oddly shaped walnuts in their hands and rub them, called "plates" in the jargon. What a lion's head, a boy's hat, a variety of things.

In fact, they did not plate walnuts, but its relatives, hemp walnuts.
Disk it
There is another kind of walnut, which is relatively long and can often sell at a sky-high price, called catalpa walnut. It is another kind, called walnut catalpa, also called walnut catalpa. There is also a long, delicious walnut called longevity fruit or pecan in the market, which is an American relative of pecans.

Are you a green skin?
People who have lived in the city for a long time may not have seen walnut trees, let alone walnut flowers and fruits. Walnut trees are quite stout and can grow to twenty or thirty meters tall. At the junction of spring and summer, the walnut tree hangs down a poplar-like "caterpillar", which is its male inflorescence.
Walnut flowers
In autumn, the trees do not produce light yellow walnuts, but turquoise strings of fleshy fruits, or how to call them "peaches"! This green part is the outer peel of the walnut, and it is not until it cracks that the pale yellow hard inner skin inside is revealed.
The fruit of a walnut
When I was a child, I often heard adults say that the green skin of walnuts cannot be touched and is highly toxic. Later, there were many criminal investigation dramas that said that walnut green skin was rich in cyanide, and was often brought by criminals from the mountains to kill people invisibly. In fact, although the green skin and branches of walnuts are poisonous, the toxicity is far less terrible than cyanide. Of course, if you take a big bite, you will still be poisoned.
Green skin makes people feel "toxic", I am afraid that it is because the green skin has a serious dyeing, and it does not go for a long time, which is a bit of "poisonous gas into the bone" meaning.
This yellow-black color is derived from the quinones and tannins in the green skin, and once it is on the hand, it cannot be washed clean, unless it is strong acid - the hand is gone. The only way is to wait, relying on the metabolism of the skin, ten days and half a month, to recover.
Hands dyed with walnut green skin
By the way, there are often scammers who say that they have dark hair remedies, and many of them are mashing the "affected area" with green skin. That won't make you grow black hair at all, just dye it white. Needless to say, the average hair dye really can't dye so strongly.
In the Beijing native language, the kind of people who are not steamed, cooked, mixed, and repeatedly taught are called "green skin". But now there are few people who use this word, green skin people are rare, even walnut green skin is rare.
Don't be stupid, just be hungry
Walnuts are very fragrant to eat, and there are many nutrients, mainly lipids and some protein. But the oil content of this thing is too high, and you can use a lighter to light it. Eating half a pound at a meal is probably going to be sad for two months.
Walnut kernels can be eaten fresh, can be eaten dry, can make candied pastries, can also be stir-fried, and can even be beaten into powder. The "peach kernel" in traditional cooking basically refers to walnut kernels, such as "peach kernel chicken diced", which is fried with peeled walnut kernels, not peach kernels.

The rumor of "walnut brain supplementation" is a cliché. In fact, walnuts do not have obvious brain tonic effects, more is the deduction of the traditional medicine "shape complement" theory.
Walnut kernels, like your brain
The ravines of walnut kernels do resemble brains, but there is no necessary connection between them, and the old ancestors took it for granted. Walnuts that have not been clipped by the door do not replenish the brain, and the door clipped still does not replenish the brain. In fact, animal brains are more like human brains than walnuts, and the ingredients are the same! For two days, not only do not supplement the brain, but maybe they can also eat into a cerebral infarction.
