How are Kashmiri Walnuts Cultivated?
The walnut harvesting season is the Autumn season here in Kashmir and our Kashmiri growers start plucking and picking the crop. It starts with beating the branches of a huge walnut tree with a long stick (Lanz) so that the crop falls to the ground. It is done manually by the one who climbs up to the top of the walnut tree.
Once the crop falls to the ground, it is a round, green colored crop. The outer green cover is called the husk (Gollur) while the harder shell inside it surrounding the fruit is called endocarp (Kend). This crop is collected in huge numbers and a process of removing their green cover takes place. It is done mostly by the women folk of the grower’s family.
They do it by beating the collected crop with a thick wooden stick so that the green cover comes off. It is not as easy as it looks. While the women do this, their hands turn jet black because of a toxic chemical called juglone present in the husk of the crop. This not only causes staining of the hands but also causes immense skin irritation. Now the crop is brown, round and hard shelled. It still has a residue of its green covers and the chemical juglone. It is finally removed by washing the crop properly, particularly done in streams (running water). After the washing is done, the walnuts are collected
and left to dry in the open sun. These are kept in the sun for a few days so that the fruit inside the hard shell is also dried and becomes hard to use as a dry fruit.
The hard shell is finally broken and the walnut kernels are collected for final packaging to be delivered to you only through Kashmir Box.
