How to peel walnuts quickly and completely

Walnut is rich in nutrition, but its shell is difficult to handle. Here are several quick and complete methods for peeling walnuts.

First find the stomach of the walnut, hit it twice on both sides, don't use too much force, just knock it open. Peel off the skin and you will find that the walnut is evenly divided into two halves. Because the position of the walnut belly is just the dividing line between the "left and right brains" of walnuts (it sounds cruel, Amitabha), the walnuts peeled from this position are basically two petals, and if you are lucky, you can peel a whole petal.

When I say walnut belly, I mean the smooth side of walnuts. Don't hit the protruding part of the walnut, it will be completely broken, and the ideal state is 4 petals.

It would be great if you had a walnut peeler at home. But you should also use the "teeth" of the walnut peeler to "bite" the stomach of the walnut, so that the peeled walnut can be complete.

Second, put the walnut warp perpendicular to the walnut pliers, and gently press down the handle of the pliers until an opening or crack appears. It is not advisable to use too much force. Crush the meat, peel off the hard shell along the opening and crack, and clip it again if necessary. Note that there is a diaphragm between the two pieces of pulp. Break it open and gently lift the diaphragm in the opposite direction of the gap, and the whole diaphragm will come out. Don't throw it away. This thing is also very nutritious.

3. Put the walnuts in a steamer and steam for 5 minutes. Turn off the fire after steaming, immediately soak the walnuts in cold water, take them out, tap them with a hammer a few times, and peel them.

4. Insert a small metal spoon handle that is not too thick into the cracked end of the walnut, which is the weakness of the walnut. Hold the walnut firmly in one hand and turn it with a spoon in the other, and the walnut will be pried open.
