As you know, walnuts are a unique food product containing a huge amount of substances beneficial to our body. Such nuts contain a huge amount of vitamins, protein, microelements and fats. It must be said right away that this product is quite high in calories, so its use should be limited to those people who are on diets, actively involved in sports or, on the contrary, lead a sedentary lifestyle.
To clean or not to clean?
Of course, we all know what kind of product it is, how it can sometimes be difficult to split it, and how much time it takes. Why not buy shelled nuts straight away? Many people do just that, of course. But doctors and culinary experts agree on one thing: it is better not to buy shelled nuts, since it is not known what quality they are, how long they are stored in warehouses in the store, how long they lie on its shelf, whether all conditions for their storage and transportation were observed.
In this case, if you don’t trust stores, we recommend buying unshelled walnuts. Today we will tell you how to properly crack a walnut so as not to damage the inner kernel. Also, by the way, the option of cleaning nuts at home is also suitable for those who grow them themselves in their own plot. What kind of store-bought nuts are there, and even shelled ones, when at home there is always a plate of home-grown delicacy in the kitchen.
With a knife
Perhaps the most common method of peeling walnuts is using a regular kitchen knife. How to crack a walnut without damaging the kernel using a knife? We take a nut and find a hole in its shell (more often it is called a “tail”). We insert the tip of the knife there and turn it a little. The fruit is quickly and easily divided into two parts, the inside is not damaged.
Pliers
This option is suitable for those who need ground walnuts, say, for decorating a cake or for marinating meat. How easy it is to crack a walnut with pliers, but how messy it is! Of course, you can very carefully bite off the shell piece by piece, but surely such a lengthy method will not suit everyone.
Baking tray
A fairly common method is to heat the walnut. How to split it using a baking sheet? No way. The oven and preheated baking sheet just help soften the membrane in the shell a little. Keep the nuts in the oven for about ten minutes, remove from the oven, cool slightly and use any of the methods suggested above (knife or pliers).
Under the influence of high temperature, the constriction that binds the nut shell will be so soft and pliable that the process will take you a minimum of time.
Boiling water
This is also a “temperature” option. In the Caucasus, nuts are cleaned in this way. So, walnut. How to split using boiling water? Take a large saucepan, put nuts in it and pour boiling water over it. Leave for twenty to thirty minutes. Take out the nuts and easily peel them with a knife.
Unusual ways to clean nuts
Among the popular and proven options that help clean walnuts, there are also methods from the Kulibins. They may be called funny, unusual, original or stupid, but the fact is: people use them. We’ll share with you, tell you how to quickly crack walnuts using non-standard methods.
The first method is a champagne bottle. Here you will need precision, accuracy and dexterity. The main thing is that, as they say, your hand does not waver. So, we take a walnut and put it on the table. As you know, many sparkling wine bottles have a small recess in the base. It is with this very notch that you will need to hit the nut when you strike. Moreover, “eyewitnesses” claim that this does not work the first time, and this method is quite “bloody”, because the shell and the nut itself scatter throughout the room.
Doorjamb. Did you think that using a doorknob you can only remove teeth? But no. You can also use the front door to crack walnuts. The method has been proven by many, but, again, quite “dirty”. After you place the nut between the door and the jamb, give it a good tug; you will have to collect the nut on the floor.
First, always try to choose nuts that have a darkish shell color. Green nuts (hazelnuts or wild) also taste good, but peeling them will be very, very problematic. The shells and partitions inside these nuts are so strong and dense that neither an oven nor boiling water will help.
Secondly, remember that the most delicious nuts are large ones. Try to buy exactly these. If you have the opportunity to choose from a pile lying on the counter, then by all means do this, and do not put everything in a bag.
Thirdly, never buy wet and cold nuts. It doesn’t matter whether they are in the shell or have already been cleaned in production.
Fourthly, the shell must be clean. That is, it should have its characteristic “grandmother’s” wrinkles, but there should be no white deposits, spots, defects or damage.
One last thing: check the nuts by sound. Are you laughing? But in vain! Ripe and tasty nuts with a large and juicy kernel will always sing. Hit one nut against the other. If you hear a dull, incomprehensible sound, then it is better not to take such a nut. And if the nuts answer you loudly, then they are tasty, fresh and of high quality.
Walnuts are a nutritious product and especially rich in such a rare element as iodine. It is recommended to eat it specifically to compensate for the lack of iodine and unsaturated fatty acids. How to peel walnuts simply, quickly and without the use of complex devices and tools?

How to peel walnuts from their shells
The method of cleaning nuts depends on their type. If this is a real varietal nut, in which the bridge between the two flaps is clearly visible, it can be easily split with the tip of a sharp knife or any similar object.

In the store, the hand reaches out to ready-to-eat, shelled walnuts, but their cost is often twice as much as regular ones. It is much more profitable to peel walnuts from shells and husks yourself, especially since it will be easy to do with the methods listed below.
Mechanical methods for removing shells
Walnuts are easy to peel with a little physical effort. For this you can use:
These methods are good because of their accessibility - every home has a heavy object that can crack nuts. If you have interior doors installed, you can carefully squeeze the fruit between the jamb and the sash. In this case, no effort will be required from you - just push the door so that it closes, and the shell will easily crack. You should not use this method often, because the beauty of the door may suffer and the hinges may become loose.
It is good to have a special device for cracking nuts in your home; it is often called a nutcracker. If you often make salads or baked goods with the kernels of these fruits, go to any hardware store and purchase this item. You should not replace the nut cracker with a press for preparing garlic paste, as these are completely different tools. The design of the press may not withstand the load from the hard shell.
Instead of a nutcracker, ordinary pliers or pliers will help you crack the walnuts. Just a little effort is enough and the shell will crack easily. However, you should not use the tools frequently, as their handles may become loose from heavy work. When you crack the nuts with this tool, place the pliers with them in your palm. This way, the shell will not scatter all over the room, but will remain in your hand.
If you need to peel the fruits of a wild tree (they have a very dense shell, small size and elongated shape), then it is best to use a hammer. They should hit the nuts to break the shells. To avoid littering the entire kitchen with shells and losing the kernels, place the fruits in a small canvas bag or thick plastic bag. This will also help you speed up the cleansing process.
Another way to make the process of chopping with a hammer easier is suitable for those who recently had a celebration with champagne. Don't throw away the bottle, you will need it as an ideal stand for nuts - place them on the neck and hit the shell with a hammer. If you did everything correctly, the hard shell will break up into several even parts. The main thing is that the blow is accurate, then the cleaning process will be quick and safe.
Another quick but traumatic method is cracking the shell with a knife. To do this, select a knife with a blade made of dense, thick steel and insert its tip into the gap between the halves of the shell. Turn the knife slightly and remove the hard shell. The advantage of this method is that the kernels are smooth and neat. You can also remove them using a knife. The disadvantage of this method is the possibility of injury from a slipped blade.
Thermal methods to facilitate cleaning
Experienced housewives know that using high temperature can soften the shell of any nut. After this, there will be no problem splitting it. Walnuts can be processed as follows:
- Place in boiling water and keep in it for about 30 minutes. During this time, the hard shell will be well soaked and can be removed with a fork or a simple knife. If you use this method, find a barely visible crack at the top and bottom of the fruit, insert the blade there and gently turn.
- If you need to peel a large batch of nuts, then it is best to choose a different method - scatter them on a baking sheet and heat to 200 degrees in the oven. You need to bake the fruits for 10 minutes, after which you can even break the thick shells using an ordinary wooden board. Please note that you need to start cleaning only after the fruit has completely cooled.
These methods are best chosen if you do not want to scare your neighbors with scary sounds and you do not have enough strength to use mechanical methods for removing shells.
How to remove brown husks and why to do it
Each core is covered with a thin film of dark color. It can be used to determine how long the nut was stored after being collected from the tree:
This thin film can give the kernel an unpleasant bitter taste that many people do not like. If the shell was removed industrially, then the film, as a rule, remains on the kernel. It is almost impossible to remove it from peeled kernels bought in a store, since during transportation they knead and turn into crumbs.
It is easiest to peel young walnuts from this husk. Their kernels can be washed in boiling water, which is enough to completely remove the thin skin. As a result, you will get light kernels with a pleasant milky taste. These are the nuts that should be added to baked goods and salads.
Stale fruits require longer processing after being released from the shell. You can clean the husks in one of the following ways:
- soaking in boiling water;
- frying in a pan;
- baking in the oven.
- Extracting seeds from a cone
- Cleaning the seeds from the shell
- Soak the nuts in water for 12-24 hours. The shells become softer and they are easier to clean.
- You can pour boiling water for a few minutes (5-10 minutes) and then they are easier to clean.
- Cleaning pre-frozen nuts. Nuts can be stored in the freezer and taken out as needed. Please note that after defrosting, nuts cannot be stored and should be used immediately after peeling.
Cleaning procedure: Place frozen nuts in a plastic bag, remove all air from the bag and seal it. Then place the bag of nuts on a hard surface and use a rolling pin to crush each nut. Untie the bag and carefully peel the kernels from the shell.
Do not press too hard with a rolling pin so that the kernels remain intact. Everything must be done quickly so that the shell does not heat up. Therefore, first prepare everything you need and only then take out the required portion of nuts. - This is how you can break nuts without crushing the kernel (very short video):
I think you can choose the one that suits you from these methods.
Pine nuts contain unsaturated fatty acids, vitamins E, B1, B2, B3, etc. The shell or husk of pine nuts is also useful. It contains a lot of iodine, boron and other minerals. Therefore, Siberian healers make decoctions and tinctures from it. The usual proportion is 3 tablespoons of shells per glass. Such medicines help against colds, inflammation of the mucous membranes, skin diseases and other ailments. Of course, it is better to consult a doctor before use.Pine nut shells can also be used to mulch the soil in the garden.
One word of caution for those who want to buy already shelled pine nuts. They must be packaged; it is necessary that the package bears the packaging date, expiration date, and storage recommendations. It is strongly not recommended to buy this valuable product in bulk; you may end up with a low-quality product that will not strengthen, or even harm your health. In general, be careful.
Extracting seeds from a cone and some interesting things
And now for those who managed to get a large number of cedar cones. Please note that when cleaning pine nuts, you must wear gloves, otherwise the resin will have to be washed for more than one day. It is best to purchase a pair of rubberized housekeeping gloves. They are durable and pleasant to the hands.
It is worth preparing two buckets: one for nuts, the second for husks. To make the work go faster, the cone is twisted, rubbed in the hands and the grains from it fall down. One person can clean approximately one 12-liter bucket of pine cones in an hour (this is about 2.5 liters of nuts).
By the way, the husks do not need to be thrown away immediately. You can use it to fertilize the soil at your dacha, but only in the form of ash. Note that this will make the soil more alkaline. For example, thyme, chrysanthemums, lavender and other plants love just such an environment. And yet, you can make a strong decoction of the husk (2 glasses per 1 liter of water) and use it for bathing. Such baths have a beneficial effect on the nervous system.
A little about taiga “gold”. In Siberia, shishkari (a huge number of the population) actually earn decent money by collecting the fruits of coniferous trees. They already know how to peel pine nuts. Naturally, the pros use special machines to obtain nuts from cones - shellers or crushers, which are essentially the same thing. Previously, hand-held devices were used, some of them resembled a meat grinder in shape, some of them resembled a ruble - a board for washing clothes. Nowadays, automated models powered by a gasoline or electric engine are in use.
I’ll add some scientific facts for the curious. From a biological point of view, pine nuts are seeds, and they grow not on cedar, but on Siberian pine (also called Siberian pine pine or Pinus sibirica in Latin). The seeds of real cedar are inedible, but the seeds of cedar pine trees can and even should be eaten. Cedar in Latin is Cedrus.
These are such wonderful seeds from Siberia. Yes, the shells of pine nuts cannot be easily removed, but you now know how to peel pine nuts and the pine cones themselves. And if you know another interesting way to peel pine nuts, share it in the comments.
Good health to you!
p.s. Oh, why can’t we peel pine nuts like this squirrel?
How to peel hazelnuts
Hazelnut, also known as hazelnut, is a cultivated species of wild hazel, which was used by our ancestors for food and was also used as a medicinal product. The popularity of this type of nut has remained to this day, which is not surprising, given the huge amount of useful components it contains. In this regard, the question of how to peel hazelnuts from husks becomes very relevant.
About the beneficial properties of hazelnuts
First, let's figure out what the benefits of hazelnuts are. Few people know that the calorie content of delicious hazelnuts exceeds meat, bread, chocolate and fish, so you should not get carried away with their absorption. This may surprise some, but improper consumption of hazelnuts can cause serious harm to human health. As for its beneficial properties, hazelnuts contain the following nutrients:
- vitamin B (normalizes the functioning of muscles and the human cardiovascular system);
- magnesium, phosphorus, calcium, potassium, zinc, iron;
- pacletaxel (a substance that helps inhibit the development of malignant tumors);
- fatty acids (help increase the elasticity of vascular walls, slowing down the aging process).
- Pliers. We clamp the nut with pliers and place this structure in the palm. This technique will protect against the spread of debris throughout the room. Gently squeeze the product until the dense shell cracks. All that remains is to clear the kernel from it and you can move on to another instance.
- Hammer. If you need to clean several products at once, or the nut turns out to be too hard, it is better to use another method. Place the hazelnuts in a fabric bag and place them in one layer on a hard surface. We take a wooden or metal hammer and begin to lightly hit the nuts until all the shells on them crack. You don’t even have to peel the nuts, just pour the contents of the bag into a bowl and remove the kernels from the mass.
- Oven. If the hazelnuts are very hard, you should first place them on a baking sheet and place them in the oven at medium temperature for no more than 10 minutes. During this time, the shell will become more pliable and it will be easier to clean the components.
- Using boiling water. Place the walnuts in a bowl, pour boiling water over them and wait 10 minutes. Drain the liquid and wait for the product to cool. Now the products can be quickly and effortlessly split with a knife or scissors. The halves will separate on their own under slight pressure.
- Pliers. A walnut is not a hazelnut; cracking it with pliers is not so easy, but it is possible. The principle of performing the manipulation is the same. But this method is recommended to be used only when you need to clean a small volume of product.
- Heating in the oven. Place the walnuts in a preheated oven and keep for 10 minutes at a temperature of 200? C. This time is enough to make the shell more fragile and pliable. But in this case it is better to work not with a knife, but with a hammer. We just take a nut, place it on a wooden board and lightly tap it with a hammer. The shell will fall apart into pieces; the kernels will only need to be cleaned of jumpers and dirt.
- Place the ingredients in a fabric bag, lightly shake and pour into a bowl. Pour boiling water over the product and leave for 5 minutes. Drain the liquid, put the workpiece in the bag again and shake it again. After such manipulations, all unnecessary skin should come off the nucleoli. An additional advantage of this approach is that it returns the delicate milky taste to even slightly stale products.
- You can also fry the kernels in a dry frying pan for 5 minutes. After this, they are very easy to clean; part of the husk will come off the nuts during the heat treatment process. The main thing is to ensure that the products do not burn. Problems will be indicated by a change in the color of the workpieces and the appearance of a specific pungent odor. By the way, some housewives still add a little vegetable oil, but not to the frying pan, but to the nuts themselves about a minute before the end of processing.
- good drying. In the sun or in the oven (at a temperature of 50–60 ° C). The finished nut breaks into two halves when pressed, the husk is dry and comes off easily;
- choosing the right storage containers;
- compliance with temperature conditions;
- when stored in air-permeable containers, ensure good ventilation;
- compliance with storage periods.
- Dry on a board, baking sheet or spread cloth, in a well-ventilated area with low humidity, for a couple of days.
- Place in a cloth or paper bag, tie, and sign the date.
- Place in a cool place with good ventilation.
- Place some of the fruit into a thick plastic or fabric bag.
- Tie the neck.
- Crush the bag forcefully in your hands.
- Select nuts from shell fragments.
Methods for peeling hazelnuts
It’s worth noting right away that the process of peeling hazelnuts from the shell is quite troublesome, so using a hammer or cobblestone for this purpose is not the best option. Of course, the easiest way is to buy nuts without shells so as not to bother with them, but due to the high cost, not everyone can afford such a luxury.
In addition, shelled hazelnuts retain freshness, which cannot be said about shelled hazelnuts. To peel hazelnuts, many people use a garlic press, but you can’t be 100% sure of its reliability, because if it gets hit with hard hazelnuts, it can easily break.
There are 3 ways to clean hazelnuts at home:
Speaking about how to peel hazelnuts, we note that it will be most effective to roast the nuts. To do this, they need to be placed in a mold and placed in an oven preheated to 180-190 degrees. They should be stirred from time to time, allowed to cool slightly and sent back. Such actions will promote active bursting and cracking of the hazelnut skin.
When the nuts are sufficiently fried, they will need to be placed on a towel and pressed well so that they rub against each other. This is necessary so that the skin lags well behind the kernel. After the nuts are completely peeled and “shed” all the skins, you can use them for further purposes.
As you can see, there is nothing complicated in the process of cleaning hazelnuts. The main thing is not to forget to follow certain tips that will help not only keep your teeth intact and healthy (this applies to those who like to crack nuts with their teeth), but also preserve the maximum beneficial properties of hazelnuts during processing (cleaning and roasting).
Remember that the product is quite suitable for preparing culinary masterpieces - pastries, cakes, desserts, salads and others. It is important that all of these dishes include nuts already in a peeled form, especially if you have your own restaurant or children are coming to your home. No one wants to mess with the husks, so it’s better to clean the product in advance and then use it as needed.

What and how can you quickly peel hazelnuts and walnuts?
To peel a walnut or hazelnut, you need to spend a little time and effort. Because of this, many lovers of these products prefer to buy components that have already been shelled. Unfortunately, the conditions for processing, storage, packaging and transportation of such products are often violated. Their consumption can lead to digestive upset and even poisoning. It is better to choose nuts with a protective shell and peel them yourself.
What's the easiest way to peel hazelnuts?
Hazelnuts not only have a pleasant texture and a delicate taste. This is a very healthy nut that supplies the human body with a scattering of vital trace elements and chemical compounds. For this reason and because of certain difficulties in growing it, the component should not be cheap. If you buy a product that is too cheap, it may be empty or damaged inside.
Well, the best way to peel such nuts is in the following ways:
Tip: When choosing walnuts, be careful. It is highly not recommended to purchase wild tree fruits; all existing cleaning methods have practically no effect on them. Such nuts can be easily recognized by their small size and unusually elongated shape.
Removing the shell does not complete the cleaning, because fresh hazelnuts are covered with a thin skin, which imparts bitterness to the kernels. It is not so easy to remove it manually; first you need to fry them in a hot frying pan without oil over low heat for 5 minutes. Now we place the nuts between two pieces of fabric and three palms. This will allow you to quickly bring all the elements to the desired state at once.
You should not try to crack hazelnuts with your teeth, as this can cause serious problems with the enamel. Even a garlic crusher is not always able to cope with hard shells.
How to quickly and efficiently peel walnuts?
Many people try to crack walnuts the old fashioned way using a knife or scissors. This is not entirely correct and, most importantly, unsafe. If you slightly miscalculate the pressing force, there is a risk of getting a cut or damage to the tool blade. It is better to try one of the following methods:
In this case, too, not everything is finished yet, because the edible kernels are covered with a dense husk. If the nuts are young, then these formations will come off the surface without any problems, you just need to rub the elements a little. But with an older product everything will be more complicated.
Removing the husks from walnuts
To remove the husk quickly and without hassle, it is not necessary to process each nut, as some housewives do.
It is much easier to use one of the following approaches:
According to experts, the use of approaches involving heat treatment is more preferable. They not only simplify the process of cleaning nuts, but also determine the quality of the product. If during exposure the kernels begin to emit a specific smell of mold or rot, this indicates a violation of the rules for storing nuts. It is better not to eat them, even if they look very appetizing. But such pre-treatment, on the contrary, will fully reveal the taste and aroma of the fresh product.

How to peel nuts at home? Infographics
You can peel nuts from the shell in different ways: by soaking them in boiling water for 5–10 minutes or by drying them in a frying pan or in the oven.
AiF.ru offers several options for cleaning walnuts, pine nuts, peanuts, hazelnuts, almonds and coconut.
Pine nuts
In order to soften the shells of pine nuts, you need to soak them for 10-15 minutes in hot water.
Another way: nuts are soaked in hot water and laid out on a cutting board. For convenience, the nuts can be placed in a bag and distributed in an even layer on the board or simply covered with a towel. Then you need to carefully crack the shell with a hammer or rolling pin.
To peel a small amount of nuts, you can use pliers or a garlic press. Before peeling pine nuts this way, they should also be soaked in hot water.
Pine nuts can also be cleaned by exposure to temperature changes. To do this, the nuts are heated in a frying pan and poured into ice water. Using this method, it is important not to overcook the nuts in the pan, as this may cause them to lose their beneficial qualities.
Walnuts
Walnuts can be peeled as follows.
You can also put the nuts in the oven for 10 minutes at 200 degrees. The cleaning process will go much faster. Cover the nuts with a canvas bag or a thick plastic bag and smash with a hammer.
Coconut
Punch three holes with a screwdriver and drain the milk from the nut. Hold the coconut suspended and hit it with a hammer. Moreover, after the second or third blow, the pulp inside will begin to move away from the walls, and the hard crust of the fruit will become covered with cracks. All that remains is to break off the shell and cut the coconut into even slices.
Hazelnuts are peeled using a garlic press or crushed with a small hammer, placing the nuts in a bag. The nuts are then dried in the oven.
First, you need to dry the peanuts in the oven for 3-5 minutes at 180 degrees. Then the cooled nuts need to be wrapped in a towel and rolled on a flat and hard surface - the husks will then easily come off on their own.
To remove the shell that covers the almonds, you need to throw the nut kernels into boiling water for 1-2 minutes. After this, you need to lay out the almonds and let them cool a little. Then, by squeezing the almonds between your fingers, you can easily separate the shell from the nut. This can be done in another way. To do this, place the almonds in a small bag and grind them with your hands or a rolling pin, pressing the bag to the table. After this, the almonds are poured into a sieve and shaken; the light shell will be on top, and the peeled nuts will be on the bottom. Peeled almonds are poured in a single layer onto a baking sheet and dried in the oven to the desired degree of readiness.
How to peel peanuts and store them correctly
Peanuts are one of the most popular nuts. And it is sold not only peeled or in husks; sometimes the shells also have to be removed from the nut. What is the easiest and fastest way to peel peanuts? And if you purchased more than a “one time” quantity, then how to properly store it at home?
How to store peanuts at home
Peanuts contain a large amount of fat, the spoilage of which makes these nuts unfit for consumption. We are talking about the rancidity of peanuts and the proliferation of aspergillus (molds) on it, which release aflatoxins. To avoid this, storage rules should be followed. Some of them are common to shelled and unshelled nuts:
There are also several separate rules for in-shell and in-shell peanuts.
Before storing, nuts should be inspected to see if there are any insects or rotten, crumbled fruits. If there are insects, warm everything up for 20 minutes at a temperature of 60 °C. Damaged - deleted. There should also be no rancid or moldy odor.
Peanuts intended for storage must be dried and cleaned of spoiled or broken nuts
Storing Uncleaned
With unshelled nuts everything is much simpler. The shell is a natural protective capsule that protects them from spoilage. Such peanuts, if stored correctly, will not lose their technical and nutritional qualities for several years. You need to do the following:
If you have a vacuum sealer at home, you can use it when packing peanuts. The lack of oxygen will prevent insects from reproducing, and pathogenic microflora will not be able to develop. This option is not suitable if the nuts are planned to be used as planting material in the future.
Unshelled peanuts should be stored in paper or cloth bags, tightly tied.
Proper storage of cleaned
Peeled peanuts are devoid of shells, which would provide each nut with the necessary microclimate and protection from various microorganisms. For example, if stored improperly, Aspergillus begins to actively multiply on the surface of nuts. This mold, accumulating in large quantities, begins to release aflatoxin, which negatively affects liver function. In addition, the process of rancidity in shelled peanuts begins faster. Therefore, storing such nuts has its own characteristics.
Aspergillus is a genus of higher aerobic mold fungi. Some of them can be dangerous to human and animal health.
If the nuts will remain at room temperature, they should be packed in cloth or paper bags. After signing the date, they must be placed in a cool, ventilated place. For example, in one of the bottom drawers of a kitchen unit. In this form, the nuts will remain suitable for consumption for three months. If there is a lot of peanuts, then it is better to package them in small portions: this will protect the bulk of the nuts from spoilage if some of the bags begin to spoil. You can use a vacuum sealer, just as in the case of unpeeled fruits.
For short-term (up to 2 weeks) storage outside the refrigerator or long-term (up to 6 months) inside it, you need to pour peanuts into ceramic or glass jars and seal them tightly. Do not store loosely closed containers of peanuts in the refrigerator. The fruits quickly become damp and become saturated with foreign odors, and their shelf life is noticeably reduced. It is also undesirable to use plastic bags - they allow odors to pass through. The exception is vacuum sealer bags.
To dry the peanuts, pour them into a baking tray or wide frying pan. Then dry in room or oven
Peanuts should not be peeled, crushed or added with any flavoring additives before storing them. Also, you should not fry it or heat it to more than 60 °C. This will shorten the shelf life.
Quick ways to remove shells and husks from peanuts
Removing peanut shells and husks is easy and can be done by squeezing the nut and rubbing it between your fingers. It’s very simple, but this option is not suitable for cleaning a large number of fruits, as it is quite time-consuming. There are various methods that significantly speed up the process.
Removing the shell
- Place the nuts in a cloth bag.
- Roll the rolling pin over the bag with medium force.
- Choose nuts.
- Frying in a dry frying pan. Heat over low heat, stirring constantly. We periodically check the degree of readiness. The husk should come off easily, and the nuts themselves will become dry and pleasant to the taste.
- Roasting in the oven. Pour the peanuts into a rimmed baking sheet and place in an oven preheated to 200°C. After 10 minutes, check if the nuts are ready. The signs of readiness are the same as in the case of a frying pan.
- Pour the nuts onto a clean piece of cloth spread out.
- Gather together or tie edges.
- Turn the bundle in your hands, as if rubbing it between your palms. Do not squeeze too hard so that the nuts do not start to break.
- Choose clean peanuts from the shells.
- Place two bowls on the table: one with roasted peanuts and one empty.
- Scoop half a handful of nuts from the first bowl.
- We rub them in our hands.
- We select clean nuts from the husks and place them in a second bowl.
- Place peanuts in a glass or ceramic bowl.
- Pour boiling water over until the nuts are completely covered.
- Leave for 10 minutes.
- Drain the water and remove the swollen husks from the nuts with your fingers.
- To do this, apply peroxide with a cotton swab to contaminated areas of your hands.
- Put rubber gloves on your hands.
- Remove gloves after 15 minutes.
- Lather your hands generously with laundry soap and scrub them with a stiff brush.
- After completing this procedure, it is recommended to use hand cream.
- Place the green-skinned walnut on the asphalt.
- Lightly press it down with your foot and rotate it, getting rid of the green “house”.
- pliers;
- special tongs for cracking nuts;
- branded nut cracker.
- Cover the table with newspaper and prepare containers for collecting broken shells and peeled walnut kernels.
- Place the muff on the newspaper and place the nut on it with the pointed end facing up.
- High noise level.
- A large number of small shell fragments scattering in all directions.
- There is a risk of hitting the fingers holding the nut with a hammer while working.
- Open the nutcracker and place the nut in the recess located at the top.
- Place your palm around the two lower handles and squeeze them tightly, trying to connect them together.
- Take pliers and squeeze the nut with them, clasping it with your other hand, this will prevent fragments of its shell from scattering.
- When using this method, there is a risk of compromising the integrity of the kernel.
- Turn the nut so that its pointed tip is facing down.
- Insert the tip of the knife into the small indentation located between the two halves of the shell, located on the upper, blunt part of the nut.
Do not press too hard on the bag with your hands or a rolling pin - the nuts under the shell may break. Before peeling, the peanuts should be dried; the shell will become more fragile.
Under the shell there is a nut in a red husk, which will also have to be removed
Dry peeling
In principle, the husk can be peeled from a raw nut. But it comes off hard, and this process is very time-consuming, since you have to process each nut with your fingers, separately. The problem is solved by roasting peanuts:
Pour the nuts into a dry frying pan and put on fire. Heat, stirring constantly
Grinding in fabric:
If you have a fabric bag on hand, you can use it. It will be even easier. But a plastic bag will not work; its surface is too smooth (namely, the rough surface of the fabric causes the husks to separate from the nuts), so the cleaning process will be delayed.
After roasting, the peanuts are poured onto a piece of clean cloth, in which the nuts will be cleaned
Rubbing in hands:

Wet peeling
This method produces the purest nut, which can later be used to make peanut butter or as an additive to baked goods.
The next step depends on how you plan to use the peanuts. It is dried or subjected to other processing: boiled in sugar, crushed, etc.

Theoretically, shelled peanuts can already be eaten, since the husk is soft and does not have a pronounced taste. However, there is an opinion that peanut husks are an allergen even stronger than the nut itself, and with constant consumption it can lead to negative reactions in the body.
You should not refuse to buy peanuts if they are sold unshelled or in large packages. This nut is stored very well, and the taste of a nut roasted with one’s own hands is much more interesting than that of one prepared industrially.
How to properly crack and peel walnuts at home
One of the most valuable products containing many useful vitamins and substances is the walnut. Thanks to their excellent taste, its kernels are especially popular among children and adults who prefer to enjoy these nuts all year round. However, the green peel and durable shell of the nut, which reliably protects this exquisite delicacy gifted by nature, are difficult to clean. To split the fruit, it is enough to use proven and effective methods that allow you to cope with this task easily and simply.
How to properly crack a walnut at home
The final ripening of walnuts traditionally occurs in September. It is at this time that the green skin of the fruit begins to darken and crack, exposing the brown shell. Ripe walnuts usually fall from the tree on their own, however, during a large-scale harvest, many of them may remain in a green shell with a lot of juice.
Ripe walnuts in green peel
Before you start peeling the nuts, you need to get rid of it, remembering that the green peel contains a large amount of juglone, which acts as a strong natural dye. It is this substance that will instantly turn your unprotected hands and clothes brown. For this reason, it is recommended to clean nuts from green skins using rubber gloves.
Peeling the green skins from the green nuts can seriously stain your hands and clothes.
If nut juice does get on unprotected areas of the skin, you can get rid of it using a warm bath with the addition of fresh lemon juice or using hydrogen peroxide.

Preparing walnuts for chopping
There are several ways to rid the fruit of green skin. Usually this shell is easily removed with a knife. By making a small cut, you can easily free the ripe nut from its green captivity. But if you have to deal with unripe fruits, you need to carefully cut off the green peel in small slices, gradually peeling the brown shell of the nut, like a potato.

Attention! Don't put your whole weight on the nut. Otherwise, the brown shell will also not survive and will crack, and the valuable kernel will be crushed on the ground.
This method will allow you to quickly peel the green skins from the nuts without getting your hands dirty.
At the next stage of preparing the nuts for cleaning, it is necessary to collect them in a suitable container, which can be a basin, bucket or bag. Then, wearing rubber gloves and armed with a metal brush or a hedgehog for washing dishes, you should wipe off the remnants of the green shell in the form of white nets and veins from the surface of the nut shells.

After completing the work of removing the outer shell from fresh nuts, spread the nuts on a flat surface in a thin layer and let them dry for 5-6 weeks. During this time, the milk kernels will harden, become crispy, and their upper protective film will gradually lose its bitterness.
Tools needed to crack walnuts at home
To independently chop walnuts at home, you cannot do without certain tools. Its role is traditionally played by:
The easiest way to crack a walnut involves using an ordinary hammer. In this case, for greater simplicity and efficiency, it is recommended to use a plumbing coupling with a diameter of 20 mm, which acts as a convenient stand. Sometimes the neck of a champagne bottle is used for this purpose, but working with a coupling is much more comfortable.

A useful device that allows you to crack the fruit yourself is a nut cracker. With this simple device you can also deal with the hard shell, however, you are unlikely to be able to maintain the integrity of the kernel itself.
Such special tongs can greatly simplify the process of chopping nuts.
Unfortunately, not all types of walnuts can be crushed using tongs. To remove shells that are too thick, sometimes there is simply not enough strength to squeeze them.

You can similarly crack a nut with pliers. However, this method will also require considerable strength.
Attention! If you hold the nut while cracking the shell with an unprotected hand, you may be injured by sharp fragments.
You can peel the shell from a walnut using a knife. For this purpose, it is better to choose a small knife. Taking a close look at the walnut, you will see that its shell consists of two equal halves, and its shape is slightly elongated.
This is how the tip of the knife should be positioned when chopping nuts.
Attention! When using a knife in the process of chopping a walnut, there is a chance of injuring yourself if the blade suddenly comes off.

Storage of finished kernels
If you want to always have peeled kernels on hand, then you need to learn how to store them correctly. It is not recommended to leave kernels without shells and especially husks for a long time, since during storage walnuts lose some of their vitamins and microelements.
In the refrigerator, the finished kernels will not deteriorate within 9 months, but by the end of this period they will no longer be a source of large amounts of vitamins. It's a good idea to place the shelled nuts in the freezer so they can be used within two years. Clean kernels must be placed in any container (preferably glass or plastic) and placed in the refrigerator. Remember, if you washed the kernels, you should dry them before storing.
If you do not have the opportunity to place the kernels in the refrigerator, then you can pre-fry them at a temperature of about 110 degrees in the oven (this will take you about 15 minutes). Kernels processed in this way should be used within a month, but they can even be stored in a kitchen cabinet.

Preparing fruits for splitting
Before you start chopping walnuts, you need to prepare them properly. However, there is a significant difference in where the fruits come from:
- If the nuts were collected in your own garden, then they need to be peeled from the green peel and dried thoroughly.
- If you bought them in a store or at a market, then at home, before chopping, the fruits must be washed thoroughly so that the dirt and dust that accumulated on them during transportation and storage do not get on the kernels.
Nuts collected from your garden must be removed from their green skins. This is very easy to do, but first, you should wear gloves. They will protect your hands from the juice, which is easily absorbed into the skin and turns it brown. It is quite difficult to wash off this paint afterwards. Once your hands are safe, you can start cleaning. There are several methods to remove the peel:

After removing the skin, you need to use a metal brush to scrub off its remains, which are stuck to the shell in the form of white veins. Then the nuts are laid out on a flat surface in one layer and dried for 5-6 weeks. After this time they can be eaten.
If the fruits have been purchased, they must be washed. Pour boiling water over the nuts in the shell and leave for 25-30 minutes. Then take it out, rinse under running water and dry. Purchased peeled kernels must also be washed, but not with boiling water. They are placed in a container, filled with warm water, washed well and removed using a slotted spoon, preventing the settled dirt from sticking to their surface again. The kernels are laid out on a towel and dried.
For many people, it is still a mystery how to peel a walnut. Those who rarely eat this healthy product, of course, do not know how many ways there are to get the nucleolus. But those for whom these fruits are not the last place in their diet can easily extract the kernel by choosing a method convenient for themselves. Fortunately, there are many of them:
Each person can choose their favorite method to get to the core. It only takes a little effort.
If the shell is too hard
Sometimes you may find that the shell of a nut is too hard and there is no way to simply remove it. There are several techniques to soften the outer shell at home:
All these methods are very effective and have proven themselves. The shell becomes softer and the nuts crack more easily.
Removing film from kernels
Having removed the hard shell, you should not relax, since underneath there is a skin that completely covers the kernel. Its color depends on the freshness of the fruit. For freshly picked nuts it is beige, but for nuts that have been sitting for a long time it turns brown. Often this film has a bitter taste, so it is best to remove it. There are several ways to peel walnuts:
Any of these methods will help not only to easily and quickly deal with the film, but also improve the taste of the kernels. Having figured out how to open a walnut, you can experiment, choosing a convenient method.
