Composition and properties

One of the main compounds in nut shells is juglone. This alkaloid has a pronounced antimicrobial effect. The shell also contains a lot of iodine and vitamins (A, ascorbic acid, P). This part of the nut contains tannins that provide color, bitter taste, as well as carboxylic acids. These compounds work almost like antibiotics, which are used to treat ulcers and skin diseases. Also, coumarin, which the shell is rich in, contributes to the rapid healing of wounds and their disinfection. Another component of the nut, phenol, exhibits antiseptic properties.

Beneficial features

Walnut hulls are a valuable product for the household. It is also often used in medicine. At home, the shells are used as firewood for heating the house, and the ash is used as fertilizer on the site. When crushed, the nut shell will act as mulch. It can be added to the soil to increase its breathability. If desired, it is easy to make crafts, decorations, or even lay out paths in the garden from the shell. You can also add nut peelings to the compost pit.

Depending on the purpose, the shell is crushed into fractions of the required size:

For mulching, you will need crumbs no larger than 5 mm, and its layer in height must be at least 5 cm so that weeds cannot break through it.
For fertilizer you need practically flour with particles of 1-2 mm. Its consumption is 2 cups per square meter. This fertilizer suppresses fungi and other pathogenic microflora in the soil.
To fill the paths, larger shell particles, about 1-1.5 cm in size, are used. First, a substrate is made, and then a layer of 7-10 cm of nut remains is poured.

How to prepare and store shells

Depending on the region and climate zone, walnuts are harvested at the end of August - the first half of September. It is better to harvest a little earlier rather than later, when the kernels have already rotted and the entire nut has acquired a moldy, bitter taste. After harvesting, the shells are prepared, the first stage is drying the hazel fruits. There are 3 ways:

The nuts are laid out in the fresh air in one layer on a cotton cloth so that the sun's rays fall on them; Mix the fruits 1-2 times a day; pick up after 3-6 days of drying;
If walnuts are dried indoors, then lay them out in a room where air constantly circulates, preferably near a window; dried for 7-10 days;
In the oven, the nuts are kept for 3 hours at 45 degrees with the door open, then the temperature is increased to 70 degrees, and after 30 minutes the fruits are taken out and cooled.

To prevent the nuts from spoiling and losing their healing properties, they are packaged in canvas bags or mesh. Store in a dark, dry place, cellar or pantry, stacking bags. The main thing is that the fruits do not get wet; to do this, the room is drained. If all rules are followed, walnuts can be stored for up to 2 years.
