Walnut in Jixian county

Jixian Walnut Walnut, also known as Walnut and Qiangtao, is also known as the world-famous "four dried fruits" with almond, cashew nut and hazelnut. It can be eaten raw and fried, and can also be used to extract oil, prepare cakes and sweets. It is not only delicious, but also has high nutritional value, and is known as "Long live the child" and "longevity fruit". Walnut has high medicinal value and is widely used in traditional Chinese medicine. Chinese medicine believes that walnuts are warm, sweet and non-toxic, and have the effects of invigorating stomach, enriching blood, moistening lung and nourishing spirit. "Shennong Materia Medica Classic" lists walnuts as the top grade for long-term service, benefiting qi and prolonging life. In the Tang Dynasty, Meng E wrote "Herbal Medicine for Dietotherapy", which stated that eating walnut kernel can stimulate appetite, moisten blood vessels and make flesh and blood delicate. In the Song Dynasty, Liu Han and others recorded in Kaibao Materia Medica that walnut kernel "makes it fat and healthy, moistens muscles, has black beard and hair, eats more to promote urination, and removes five hemorrhoids." In the Ming Dynasty, Li Shizhen wrote Compendium of Materia Medica, which recorded that walnut kernel has the effects of "invigorating qi and nourishing blood, moistening dryness and resolving phlegm, benefiting vital energy, treating triple energizer, warming lung and moistening intestine, treating deficiency cold, asthma and cough, severe pain in waist and feet, hernia in heart, blood dysentery and intestinal wind". Modern medical research believes that phospholipids in walnuts have a good health care effect on brain nerves. Walnut oil contains unsaturated fatty acids, which has the effect of preventing and treating arteriosclerosis. Walnut kernel contains zinc, manganese, chromium and other indispensable trace elements. The contents of zinc and manganese are decreasing in the process of aging, and chromium has the functions of promoting glucose utilization, cholesterol metabolism and protecting cardiovascular system. The effect of walnut kernel on relieving cough and asthma is also very obvious. In winter, it has excellent curative effect on patients with chronic tracheitis and asthma. It can be seen that eating walnuts regularly can not only strengthen the body, but also resist aging. Some people often take tonics. In fact, it is really beneficial to eat a few walnuts every morning and evening, which is often better than taking tonics.
