Something you can make with walnuts
Origin
Walnuts are believed to have originated in the region extending from the eastern Balkans to the Himalayas in Central Asia. They have been cultivated for thousands of years and were highly valued by ancient civilizations such as the Greeks and Romans. In ancient times, walnuts were primarily grown in Persia (modern-day Iran) and were introduced to various parts of the world through trade routes. Today, walnuts are grown and consumed in many countries around the world, including the United States, China, Iran, Turkey, and India.
