Boiling Whole Walnuts: Unveiling Grandma's Time-Tested Culinary Trick

Boiling whole walnuts is a simple process. All you need to do is: 1) Rinse the walnuts in water to remove any dirt and debris. 2) Place them in a pot and cover them with water. Add a teaspoon of salt to the water for flavor. 3) Bring the water to a boil and then reduce the heat to simmer. 4) Simmer the walnuts for about 30 minutes or until the shells are soft. 5) Drain the walnuts and then rinse them again in cold water. 6) Pat the walnuts dry with a clean towel. Once boiled, you can eat the walnuts on their own or use them in recipes.
