Cleaning walnuts is known to be a very labor-intensive task.
However, there is a simple way. We tell you how to shell walnuts without a nutcracker or hammer.
Wash the nuts, place them in a small saucepan, pour boiling water over them and leave for half an hour.
After this time, the nuts can be easily opened with a knife by sticking it into the place where the shells are joined.
You can also place walnuts in a pan of boiling water and boil for about three minutes.
There is no need to worry that boiling water will reduce the amount of useful substances in nuts. This will not happen, because the fruits are protected by the shell.
