Technologically, the processing of almonds is similar to the processing of other types of nuts - they are cleaned from the green pericarp, sorted by size, and the almonds are cracked and sorted to obtain a cleaned kernel.

Processing hazelnuts into a kernel increases the profit of the orchard because the kernel has a significantly higher cost. Hazelnut processing production usually begins to plan with the first stable harvests.

The structure of a variety walnut allows you to obtain a whole kernel, usually, a variety walnut has a thin shell and a kernel that is freely located in the walnut shell and does not grow with partitions or shells.

The price of a walnut depends on its quality, seasonality, demand, and the situation in the international market.

Walnuts, hazelnuts, and almonds are products with a long shelf life. On average, they can be stored for about a year and retain their quality and taste. But this statement is valid only if the storage rules are followed.

Calibration of walnuts is a stage that cannot be neglected in the industrial processing of walnuts and beyond. Calibration is required in any nut orchards and at any nut processing enterprise - walnut, hazelnut, almond, etc.

Every year the areas of walnut, hazelnut, and almond plantations increase. There is both a replacement of old orchards that have lost their productivity and the planting of completely new orchards. Depending on the climate, different types of nuts predominate in different countries of Europe - somewhere, mainly walnuts are planted, in other regions, mainly hazelnuts or almonds.

Harvesting is hard work, it takes a lot of time and effort, and can even harm your health. Therefore, in industrial gardens, special tools and harvesting equipment are used to harvest fruits.

Drying is the most important stage of walnut processing in walnut orchards and private farms. In private or industrial gardens that have just begun to bear fruit and give only a couple of bags, drying is carried out in the open air or in a well-ventilated room. For large volumes, this method is not suitable, since industrial gardens yield tens and thousands of tons.

Industrial walnut plantations give a huge harvest. These are tens and thousands of tons of walnuts, which, after harvesting, must be quickly cleaned of the green pericarp and its residues, and dried to the optimum moisture content.
