Walnuts are known for their beneficial nutritional properties. They can be added to various dishes or consumed as is.
The most interesting thing is that experienced housewives pre-boil walnuts. This may seem pointless, but the meaning is obvious, and it will surprise you.
There are two reasons, and each of them is worth discussing in more detail. Walnuts are always easier to clean after boiling. Therefore, you don’t have to use a nutcracker to clean them.
Another important advantage is that after cooking it is easier to separate the small shells and they will not fly off in different directions.
The second reason is to check the quality of the nuts. Good nuts should be hermetically sealed, so that water will not get inside during proper cooking.
If this happens, it means the nut is damaged or old, so it is better not to use it.
It is important to follow a simple rule: throw the nuts into boiling water for 2-4 minutes. This time will be enough for the shell to become soft and easier to peel. You can start peeling them immediately after boiling.
If you keep the nuts in boiling water for too long, they will become wet inside. And if this happens, they will become slightly boiled, and this will negatively affect the taste and useful properties.
If this is the first time you are using this method, it makes sense to put a few nuts in boiling water to see for yourself the benefits of boiling.
