Walnut California

Walnuts are the oldest tree food known to man, dating back to 7000 B.C. The Romans called walnuts Juglans regia, “Jupiter’s royal acorn.” Early history indicates that English walnuts came from ancient Persia (called “Persian Walnuts”), where they were reserved for royalty. As English merchant marines transported the product for trade to ports around the world, they became known as “English Walnuts.”
