Walnut

WALNUT: Walnut is the nut of any tree of the genus Juglans (family Juglandaceae), particularly the Persian
or English walnut, Juglans regia. A walnut is the edible seed of a drupe, and thus not a true botanical nut. It
is commonly consumed as a nut. After full ripening for its edible seed when the shell has been discarded, it
is used as a garnish or a snack. Nuts of the eastern black walnut (Juglans nigra) and butternuts (Juglans
cinerea) are less commonly consumed.
The two most common major species of walnuts are grown for their seeds – the Persian or English walnut
and the black walnut.
