What is the difference between walnuts for ornamental purposes and walnuts for eating?

Speaking of walnuts, everyone should be familiar with them, but have you ever heard of ornamental walnuts? I'm sure everyone knows about edible walnuts and has basically eaten them. So, everyone can't help but be curious about what are Wenwan walnuts, and what is the difference between Wenwan walnuts and edible walnuts? I guess everyone is eager to know, so let me tell you now.

First of all, there is a big difference in the uses of ornamental walnuts and the walnuts we usually eat. One is for eating and the other is for collection. Just like a snuff bottle and a medicine bottle, to put it bluntly, they are actually the same thing. However, since the rise of snuff, people discovered that medicine bottles are suitable for snuff, and their value has skyrocketed. It turns out that in the Qing Dynasty, a medicine bottle could even be given to you for free; the store could give it to you as a gift, and it was worthless. Of course, my personal understanding is that the shell of the walnut for playing is relatively hard, some of the patterns are quite peculiar, and the shell is thicker than that of ordinary walnuts. After being played with and formed with a patina, it will become very beautiful and lustrous. After being played with for dozens or even hundreds of years, the walnuts will develop a patina due to a chemical reaction caused by the sweat and oil of human hands, and will gradually become as beautiful as jade and no longer look like walnuts. Of course, there are more people who like this, and even more who want to collect it or want to make a pair themselves. You can buy a book to learn more about it.

Wenwan walnuts refer to wild walnuts in the mountains, most of which are now grafted domestic walnuts.

The walnuts I eat are paper-shell walnuts, and from their appearance they look like old iron walnuts.

The walnuts are played with for their skin, so they have thick skin, deep lines, few or small kernels. In short, they are strong and wear-resistant.

The kernel of the paper-shell walnut is edible, so the skin is thin and the kernel is large. In short, the flesh is large and will open with a little force.

The two have different uses and the focus of cultivation when planting is also different.

Now everyone knows that Laiwen walnuts are for collection purposes, not for eating, and are a very valuable collectible. If we need to choose walnuts for playing with in our lives, we also need to learn how to recognize and distinguish the authenticity. As for eating walnuts, no matter whether you are male, female, old or young, it is good for us to eat some nuts on a regular basis.
