Origin
Walnuts are believed to have originated in the region of Central Asia, particularly in the area that is now modern-day Iran. They have been cultivated and consumed for thousands of years, with evidence of their use dating back to ancient Persia and Greece. From there, walnuts spread to other parts of the world, including Europe and North America. Today, walnuts are grown in many countries around the world, including the United States, China, Iran, Turkey, and India. The walnut pieces used as an ingredient in various culinary preparations are usually sourced from these regions.
