Walnuts

Walnut trees provide fine wood for furniture of veneers, produce edible nuts, and serve as ornamental shade plantings. The most common, the English Walnut, is produced commercially primarily in California and Oregon. The fruit is a drupelike nut, with an outer leathery husk and an inner hard and furrowed stone, or nut. Walnuts can easily be combined with other ingredients to yield a complete protein quotient. Walnuts contain no cholesterol and are high in unsaturated fats.
