The use of walnut shell and the taboo of eating walnut

Many friends throw away walnut shell as waste, which is a pity.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that walnut shell can clear away heat and detoxify, and has a very good effect on some mucosal lesions, especially gastric ulcer and oral ulcer.

Method: Using about 50 grams (about 10 walnut shells) to boil water and drink.

Although walnut is good, we also need to pay attention to eating methods

1. Unsuitable people

Those who have yellow phlegm, fever and asthma, irritability and hyperactivity of fire due to yin deficiency, and those with loose stool and nosebleed should eat less or fast walnut kernel.

2. Quantitative consumption

Walnut has higher oil content, eating too much can easily cause obesity. Walnuts is suitable for breakfast. Eating walnut for breakfast can supplement nutrition without worrying about weight gain. At 3:00 or 4 p.m., we can also eat some walnuts appropriately to supplement physical strength.

3. Foods that don't go well together

Walnut should’t be eaten with strong tea.

Walnut is rich in protein and iron, while tea contains tannic acid. Tannic acid combines with protein and iron to form insoluble precipitates, which are not easy to digest and absorb.

Walnut is not easy to digest, so don’t be anxious when you eat them, you should chew slowly, so that nutrients can be better absorbed.
