Basic Introduction of Chun'an Mountain Walnuts

Chun'an Mountain Walnuts are mainly produced in the Tianmu Mountain area, with high-quality ones from Wangfu, Yanjia, and Linqi in Chun'an. Walnut is a beneficial fruit, with kernels that can be used for oil extraction, stir frying, and as a seasoning for making candies and pastries. It is rich in nutrients. According to data analysis, each kilogram of walnut kernels is equivalent to the nutritional value of 9 kilograms of fresh milk, 5 kilograms of eggs, and 2 kilograms of beef.

How did the history of Chun'an walnuts come about

Both the Ming Wanli's "Qun Fang Pu" and the Qing Kangxi's "Guang Qun Fang Pu" record: "In the south, there are mountain walnuts with a flat bottom like betel nut, thick and firm skin, succulent but less tender, and thick shells that can only be broken by the neck. The native wild walnuts have a long history, and according to expert research, their growth conditions are all related to the Cambrian strata. In terms of origin investigation, artificial cultivation has a history of over 200 years, while promotion has been underway for nearly a hundred years. According to the "Changhua Economic Survey Report" in 1942, "In the past, walnuts were not noticed by people. It was not until the early years of the Republic of China that they began to extract oil and sell to the outside world. Later, they were discovered by idle people as a tea aid, and gradually promoted... becoming Changhua's emerging wealth."
