Commenting from the California Central Valley to mention that I was so happy to see your variety of walnut-based dishes in this video! I live surrounded by walnut and almond orchards, with walnut harvest fully underway. We do love our local products, and I thank you for the new walnut recipe ideas. (We grow a huge variety of other produce items around here, too. You would never run out of products to research, when you decide to make a return visit 🙂)

A persian dish called "fesenjan" is also based on a good quality walnuts. It can be prepared with small cubes of chicken or minced beef meatballs in a sauce made of onions, choped or grounded walnut and pomegranete malases. It can be served in a sweet style (with sugar) or sour as a main dish with rice. I hope you try and enjoy it

The moment you opened the second dish I knew it was the eggplant roll from Georgia. And although I am not Georgian (I’m actually from a neighbouring Azerbaijan), I was happy you presented one of my favorite dishes that we’re familiar with since our childhood. But I’m also a little sad that you haven’t explored Azerbaijani cuisine. It’s a mixture of Turkish, Caucasian, Persian and a little sprinkle of Russian mix. And we have lots of different regional dishes as well. And to add to this video, we use walnuts in many of our dishes, and my favorite way to use them is in a paste used to stuff chicken or fish. Hope this comment gets viewed by the Sorted team, and if you consider to learn about Azerbaijani food, there are several food blogs I’d recommend to check out.

I am a Pole and my favourite way of eating walnuts in my childhood was picking them fresh from a tree growing in my dad's allotment, I feel like many Poles can relate. I was surprised you didn't know how walnuts look when they are still on a tree, but it's understandable, I just forgot how common walnut trees are in Poland. XD

I absolutely LOVE Muhammara. As soon as I heard the intro, I started thinking about Muhammara. From the look of it, the way me and my friends make it is heavier on Red Peppers. The one thing I love about making it, is that it initially will usually end up being very sweet. But as you add Salt to it, the flavor rounds out. When you get the salt exactly right, and you get that balance of sweet and umami just right, it becomes absolutely amazing.

You don't need to travel allllll the way to California for walnut lore. Europe loves walnuts, especially the slavic countries. Here in Czech most birthday cakes are traditionaly based on a walnut sponge. Our Christmas cookies are 70% walnut based. And we love to put the sugary walnut paste into pastry almost as often as poppy seed mixture. Come to Prague, forget about trdelník which is no way traditional and buy a walnut "koláč" or poppy seed "buchta" in any store. You'll be delighted!

From my personal Czech experience I would say they may not be _quite_ as widespread and beloved and it's more up to personal taste than you make it sound (our birthday cakes were usually just sponge without the walnuts, for example). But 100% on them being kind of everywhere. There was a walnut tree in the kindergarten garden. There was one growing next to the road in my previous place of residence and I got my fill of walnuts just from picking them from the ground as I went past to and from the bus stop. In my current job, every autumn / winter someone just casually has big boxes of walnuts drying by the heaters... Because they're not grown in orchards like that, there just are walnut trees everywhere, here and there. Someone in Europe not knowing how walnuts grow was a bit of a shock for me. 😮 (Also a big yes to the walnut filling being delicious.) P.S. Rooks love them, too. 😂

@@takemetoglasgow09 The difference is pretty much just how they’re cut. Rolled oats (or slow cooking oats) are the oat grain with the husk removed, flattened. I think there’s some other basic processing there, they may be steamed as part of the process. Quick oats are the rolled oats cut smaller so they cook faster, instant are cut even smaller. It’s pretty much that simple, the smaller the grain is cut the faster it’ll absorb water and cook. Personally I prefer rolled oats because they have more texture. Then there’s steel cut oats, which are the hulled grain sorts chopped up rather than rolled. My family uses a ton of oats! We buy them in 25lb bags, and we go through that in a month and a half. Quick tip - if you want oat flour you can put some rolled oats in a blender or food processed and blend them up until they’ve turned to flour. You can leave them slightly rougher if you want to have a little texture or blend until they’re more smooth. Replacing some of the flour with oat flour in recipes like muffins can be delicious! Don’t replace all of it, it’ll taste very oaty, and oats don’t have enough gluten to hold together unless you’re following gluten free recipes, but oats are a very sweet grain with a higher fat content than most and so they add a delicious rich taste to things.

As a Sacramento-ian and a walnut lover - this was a delight. The Sacramento/Central Valley of California grows lots of cool stuff. The Almond groves, and all the water consumption associated with them, are more known. But clearly! Walnuts are the superior nut! Culinarily I particularly enjoy their earthiness as a foil to mildly sweet things like pumpkin bread, oatmeal cookies but also the Muhammara is a good example. Walnut and mushroom are a great pairing to really lean into the earthy-savory aspect; try a walnut mushroom veg pate. As you touched on at the end, if your first thought of walnuts is their bitterness, it is likely you've had rancid walnuts. Store them in the freezer.

Chestnuts, hazelnuts, pecans and walnuts fit the true definition of a nut. Peanuts and almonds do not meet the botanical definition of a true nut.” We saw how walnuts grow and they’re definitely a single seed in a hard shell. Even in the video they keep calling it a nut after saying it’s the seed in a shell. I’m allergic to the nuts listed but not peanuts or almonds so this is a conversation I have pretty often lol

I have a very old walnut tree where I live, which was planted around 100 years ago. I didn't realize how walnuts grew until I moved here. They're not native to Norway, where I'm from, so the tree rarely bares fruit which is edible. It's probably a bit too cold and wet for it here. The squirrels love the nuts, so I'm glad the ones that grow don't go to waste.

We've got quite some walnut trees nearby, so have used them a lot. Pasta walnut pesto with mushrooms and maybe a courgette from the garden works like a charm.

6:45 It’s giving “Chocolates are made from a bean so it’s basically a salad.” Energy 😂

Hahaha totally.

My aunt and uncle own a huge grove near where you guys were in Northern California - Ive learned to love them in all sorts of things! Have half my freezer full of them right now for my holiday cooking/baking - might give that lasagna a try! Looks delish

I learned so much from this video! Thank you for all this information! Especially regarding storage.

Honestly, this is the perfect time of year for this video because cracking walnuts has always reminded me of the lead up to Christmas Edit - the fact that it’s called the Chandler walnut and we just lost Matthew Perry 😢

Disappointed in the reply to the "sustainability" question. Walnuts take ~5 gallons of water per nut to grow and California has been going through droughts and they've pumped up so much water out of the aquifer that the ground has been collapsing in some areas. The walnut farms, and many other farms in Central CA, are not sustainable. This is well documented. If you look it up, you'll find out. Sadly, the reply to the question was just a repeat of what the CA Walnut association said, which is obviously extremely biased.

I agree with this, but this is not a walnut crop issue, it's a California water issue. Eastern European and Persian sourced walnuts can be more sustainable. Some are, some aren't.

I love walnuts just for eating ,or in salads, brownies and cookies. But you showed several new uses for them thanks. At Christmas especially we go to tons of walnuts and yes, always store them in the freezer

Costco walnuts, in the deep freeze! Yearlong happiness!

You guys always make my day! Been feeling a little down today and this hideo cheered me up! You guys never fail to lift my spirits! Thanks!😊😊😊🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹

crushed walnut shell is also one of my favorite sand blasting mediums. Its great for softer materials for corrosion removal.

Jamie logic is calling anything with vegetables in it salad. Is he wrong though? 🤷🏼‍♀️

Just a reminder the rest of us in California don’t have enough water and walnut is one of the must water intensive crops that exists. Edit: drip irrigation only goes so far; you don’t put in enough water you don’t get the produce.

When I lived in California I had a walnut tree in my backyard. It was nice. I got a lot of walnuts.

I loved how much I learned from this video, great job again guys

I’m with Mike when I say Walnuts are not on my list of Top 5 nuts. However, I’m here with an open mind. #LoveSack Happy Sunday to SortedFood HQ and the Community!

I would like to know what his top 5 nuts are.

I love walnuts! Savory, sweet, snacking… walnuts were always a fun treat growing up but expensive. Now they’re more everyday and affordable so I almost always have a bag around. I’ll store them in the freezer going forward though. What a great tip to learn. This is why I love following this channel.

Had a walnut tree in a meadow on the way to school when I was little, was impatient enough to try and crack a green walnut with a hammer and it shot juice into one of my eyes; to which I applied a bandaid eyepatch and developed a squint for 15 years.

When you know where your food is coming from and such amazingly explained things about it, you start appreciating the food you eat

Love it. Most facts I was already familiar with, but I still can take away interesting new ideas or be aware of the impact of things I thought I knew.

Such a great video again lads! I grew up with a walnut tree in our backyard (Belgium). I always loved them straight from the tree and found that the bitterness only occurs when dry out a bit.

5:51 love the fly crawling on the dish haha

What perfect timing! Bought a huge bag of walnuts last week just for eating directly (and maybe adding to a holiday dessert or two), but now I'm so intrigued to experiment with savory applications!

Walnuts is one of my favourite nuts, just behind cashew nuts. Love cracking them open coming up to chrimbo. I love how informative these programs are 👍👍👍

Walnut oil has been a constant in my store cupboard since I discovered it some 12 years ago. 500ml will last me a couple of years, so worth the money. I’m not a vegetarian but, if I need a vegetarian dish, either for myself or entertaining, walnuts are my go-to ingredient. They, treated right, i.e. used soon after purchase, are just so delicious.
